Peter Hanson’s Worrying Weekend With 30 Minutes Sleep

Peter Hanson may have won the KLM Open with an outrageous eagle on the last hole but his thoughts were thousands of miles away with his baby son in hospital.

 peter hanson Hanson had almost pulled out of the event after the second round after hearing that young son, Tim, had been admitted to hospital in Orlando with a serious respiratory virus. However, doctors at the Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital along with the Swede’s wife, Sanna, felt Hanson would be better staying in Holland fearing he could contract the virus and put and second Ryder Cup appearance in doubt.

Baby Tim turns two years old on November 17 and dad Peter always used a number 17 on his ball and his golf bag as a reminder.

The RS virus is a respiratory condition and is very common in young children. Hanson was given special permission to remain in contact on the phone during the final round.

"My older daughter, Stella who is five-and-a-half has just started school and she brought it back home so Tim has contracted it from her," said Hanson. "I spoke to the doctor and he said with the Ryder Cup coming up it might be possible I could also pick up the virus. So that's why we have Tim isolated in the Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital because my wife is now ill and so too is our nanny. The doctors said that when they cough it could be just so easy for me to pick up the virus and that's the last thing I need going to Medinah. I've been so worried about Tim I only got about 30 minutes sleep last night."

All are expected make a full recovery.
