“After breakfast, I went to have a shower, and my wife came in to use the bathroom as well,” the newly crowned Winther said. “The door closed, and there’s no lock, but we locked ourselves in. There’s no lock on the door, but the handle didn’t work.”
“Our little girl, Nora, 6 years old, had to go and find guys at reception to break down the door. We were in there for 45 minutes, I think. I thought, ‘Geez, not today, not Sunday, you’re leading the freaking event. Might not get there for your tee time’. What a morning.”

But thankfully, the guys at reception managed to get them out on time before his tee-off. Furthermore, Winther went on to card an even-par 71 to win by a shot. However, after the victory, he shared this incident and told how this helped him settle his nerves.
“I think it probably settled the nerves because I thought I might miss my tee time and thought I might not get out. The kids are in the living room, 6 and 2 years old. What can you do?”
Hence, in this manner, the 6-year-old Nora helped her dad reach the course on time and played a significant role in his first European Tour victory.
