Japan's Hall of Fame Golfer Who Won 114 Golf Tournaments Dead from Colon Cancer At Age 78

 

Cancer  knows no national boundaries, sex or profession granting immunity

As one becomes a senior one cannot ignore colon tests and assume golf results in impunity

Jumbo Ozaki of Japan who won 114 tournaments, 94 of which were in Japan

To dominate completely golf in that land

Discovered to his dismay that colon cancer if not detected early

Leads to a fight where recovery chances  fare poorly

Colon cancer is like a golf hole with a very small green

Ringed by deep sand traps and water holes, where birdies or pars do not exist only quintuple bogeys or higher are seen

No matter how much practice on the driving range or putting green a golfer spends

His or her chance to putt or chip the ball into the hole will fail and his survival chances will come to an end

And so after a long fight with colon cancer failed

On 12/23/2025 colon cancer against Jumbo Osaki age 78 had prevailed
