It was a case of it ain't broke, don't fix it for Eugenio Chacarra as he won his second DP World Tour title in as many starts at the DS Automobiles 83° Open d'Italia.
Three weeks on from becoming a two-time DP World Tour winner at the KLM Open, the Spaniard produced a superb display of front-running to claim a five-stroke victory in Italy's national open.
Chacarra, 26, has not missed a cut since a runner-up finish at the Hero Indian Open in March and his back-to-back wins have lifted him to third on the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World, with his consistency of performance reflected by his trust in his equipment.
In fact, he has used the exact same equipment for his last four events, having only adopted minor tweaks across the Asian and European Swings.
At the Hainan Classic presented by MAEXTRO, he made two changes as he brought in the TaylorMade Qi4D three wood for the Qi4D Tour and replacing his Tad Moore, MEM Make Everything Mallet putter with a PXG Apache Battle Ready II.
The short stick is actually where Chacarra has done the most tinkering this year, having peviously also used a Kevin Burns Prototype and an Odyssey Ai-ONE Cruiser Jailbird.
At his Hero Indian Open defence he switched lob wedges, going back to a Titleist Vokey SM10 from a PXG StickEm, while two events later at the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship he changed drivers, going from the PXG Lightning Tour Mid to a Titleist GTS2.
That all adds up to just four changes across nine events that have seen Chacarra jump 67 places on the Race to Dubai Rankings.
For the 26-year-old, the key to success is very much evolution over revolution.
