Episode description
Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki is the greatest Japanese golfer of all-time. He's also likely the most mysterious golfer of all-time, at least in America. We travel back to 1998 with writer John Garrity to try and understand the golfer who:
1. Played professional baseball
2. Was often accused of cheating
3. Was allegedly linked to the Japanese mafia
4. Still competes today, at age 69.
