About

Andrea is a freelance photojournalist based in Western Ohio. Her addiction to sports is genetic, as her father was a dual-threat athlete courted by the Yankees out of high school before winding up as a semi-pro defensive end. A former staffer for the PGA TOUR and minor league baseball, she counts men's tennis and thoroughbred racing as her favorite sports. If Ohio State and West Virginia ever meet over the pigskin, she'll have to wear a Laura Quinn-style split jersey.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    I stood on No. 16 at Sawgrass watching across the water as Tiger Woods sank the "better than most" putt on the island green in the 2001 PLAYERS Championship. I've never heard a wall of sound like the roar that erupted from the crowd on that hillside. Surreal.
