Kaymer's trusty PING Anser 2 clutch yet again

May 15, 2014 | by Benjamin Larsen of AmateurGolf.com

Martin Kaymer buried the season's most memorable putt with his trusty Karsten Anser 2

When it's all said and done, the memory golf fans remember from the 2014 Players Championship will undoubtedly be the amazingly-clutch 29-footer Martin Kaymer buried on the 71st hole.

With a check totaling $1.8 million on the line, Kaymer drilled a rolling, left-to-right putt on TPC Sawgrass' famous 17th hole that gave him a lead he would ultimately hold on to with another clutch putt on 18.

And what putter did he use?

The same putter that won him the 2010 PGA Championship. The one he used to put the fork in the U.S. at the 2012 Ryder Cup. The one that, according to this week's GolfDigestix, retailed at only $90 when it first hit the market back in 2009.

The Ping Karsten Anser 2.

Martin's version is standard, with three degrees of loft and measuring in at 35 1/2 inches.

Ping has since moved on from the model -- instead developing the tour-proven Karsten TR Anser 2 and Anser Milled.
