Mynavi ABC Championship Golf Tournament 2019

Jumbo Ozaki decided to make his 4th WD of the season at Mynavi ABC Championship

Jumbo Ozaki made his appearance for the 6th time this season today but decided to WD during his first round. This will be his 4th time to WD this season. He had made triple-bogey on his 16th hole, and with that his score was 14 over par. Jumbo decided to get off the course right after.

"I am becoming to accept my fate to give up now."
This weak-minded words didn't quite fit the image of the legendary player with 94 Tour wins, but it seems that his body is not helping him at all.

The course setting for this week as very nasty thick roughs, so when the 72 years old Jumbo gets caught in the roughs, it literary hurts his body.
"I can't swing as I used to using my full body. I tend to protect my back from aching and try to hit with only using my hands. But that kind of swing doesn't work on the tournaments."

He was just 2 more holes short to complete his round, but Jumbo couldn't go on. His next scheduled appearance will be at Dunlop Phoenix 3 weeks from now.
"If I try to work on my swings to prepare, it will definitely give me another physical problems. I hope the Dunlop Phoenix would not be my last game on the Tour."

He left an anguished cry and left the course in hurry.
