CADDIE-LESS WIN
In May 2021 he won the Gateway to the Open Mizuno Open in Okayama, Japan, without a caddie and only 11 clubs in his bag. Due to COVID-19 restrictions in Japan golfers were only permitted to have caddies riding in carts on the course, but he decided against having a caddie due to the difficulty of navigating the greens with a cart. He put less clubs in his bag to make it lighter to carry. "I am getting older and the last two times with 14 clubs were really heavy. I don't like to use the electric carts, since you have to go all the way around the greens. Since there are fewer choices [of clubs], I can save the trouble of choosing and play easily."
