Katayama used a putter he bought second-hand 20 years ago . He chose a model on Mercari for just 5,000 yen including shipping, and after extensive off-season practice, he took it on the road to the big game.
He analyzed that "my old putter was lighter and suited me better," and his flexible thinking and adaptability were also major factors in his victory.
