About Patty
Patty Tucker

I began playing bridge in 1965 at the age of eleven and played in my first tournament a year later.
 
A familiar face at national and regional tournaments, I earned national recognition upon winning the North American Open Pairs National Championship with my long-time partner, Kevin Collins.
 
During the last ten years, I have devoted more time to teaching. Though I still enjoy playing, there is a deep satisfaction in passing on to others my joy in the game of bridge.
