WhenΒ John MackovicΒ became Arizonaβs football coach in 2001, one of the first things he did was to heartlessly fire secretaryΒ Lisa Bravo, who had beenΒ Dick Tomeyβs secretary for a decade. Lisa was reassigned within the athletic department until her retirement two years ago. But the Amphitheater High School grad didnβt let Mackovicβs treatment stop her. She is at the Ryder Cup this weekend in her capacity with Sky Sports (Europeβs version of ESPN) as a unit manager and production assistant. Bravo has worked dozens of PGA Tour events, the U.S. Tennis Open and this week is responsible, for among other things, the schedules and appearances of TV personalitiesΒ Jack Nicklaus,Β Butch HarmonΒ andΒ Colin Montgomerie. Bravo got her start at the Tucson Open 10 years ago, delivering coffee and sending out laundry for TV personnel.
