Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki, the JGTO Tour leader with 94 career wins, was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday, and expressed gratitude for having his achievements recognized on an global scale.
"I feel proud of the contribution I have made to Japanese golf but I didn't have such good results on the international circuit. I feel grateful to be appreciated by people overseas," said the 63-year-old Ozaki.
"This honor weighs heavy as I'm still an active player, but everyone is pleased for me so I must accept it."
