Golf Hall of Famer Masashi 'Jumbo' Ozaki dead at 78 after cancer battle

Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki, arguably the greatest Japanese golfer of all time, died Tuesday at age 78 after battling colon cancer.

Ozaki won 113 tournaments all over the world, 94 of them on the Japan Golf Tour, becoming an inspiration to 2021 Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama.

Ozaki became a constant at Augusta National Golf Club in 1972, but he did not compete there from 1980 to 1987.
