(Reuters) - Denmark's Jeff Winther clinched his first European Tour crown with a one-shot victory at the Mallorca Open, holding his nerve in a closely-fought final round hours after accidentally locking himself in the bathroom earlier on Sunday.

Winther began the day with a two-shot lead and recorded a closing 70 to finish at 15-under overall, securing victory ahead of Sweden's Sebastian Soderberg and home favourites Pep Angles and Jorge Campillo who were in a three-way tie for second.
