Jump to
Virginia "Jean" Giambrone (May 6, 1921 – January 21, 2013) was an American sports writer, who became the first woman to be awarded full press credentials at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Jack Nicklaus called her "a true professional in her craft", while former colleagues noted her impact on women's athletics and journalism: Scott Pitoniak opined that "Every current female athlete, coach and administrator really owes her a debt of gratitude," while Bob Matthews called her "the best friend women sports people in Rochester ever had."
