Quick Quotes

Q. Eila, how did you think it went out there today?

EILA GALITSKY: It was pretty good. Just figuring out the hole locations where I think they'll have it. So didn't really shoot at the pins today. But, no, the course is looking really good. So I'm excited for tomorrow.

Q. Usually you have some other Gamecocks here with you, but you are riding solo this year in year four. What's that like and what's it like to just also, once again, represent your university?

EILA GALITSKY: I mean, it's great. I feel a little lonely here. You know a couple people here have their teammates with them. But my teammates will come up and watch on Saturday, and I think one of our coaches is coming tomorrow and on Thursday. So I'm excited for that.

Q. Have any of them texted you outside the ones that are going to be here physically on Saturday? Have any of the other ones text the you invoicing their support for you?

EILA GALITSKY: Well, they've definitely texted me a lot asking for tickets. But other than that, they've been great. It's asking me hope you have a good practice round and all that stuff.

Q. Obviously your stats speak for itself. This is your fourth start this year, first year missed cut, 8th, fourth hopefully champion this year. What's that experience like and how do you think it's going to carry for?

EILA GALITSKY: I mean, obviously the more times you play the more experience you get. Now, I know we're not to more, so that's great. But I definitely think Augusta National you need to play a couple rounds there before you really get the hang of it.

Q. And just having that experience, you're one of several golfers in the field that have been here for four or four or more years and this tournament's only seven-year history. What's it like to kind of continuously come back here and have the opportunity to compete in this event?

EILA GALITSKY: Well, I do feel very old. I've been asking around, oh it's my first time, my second time. I'm like, yep, it's my fourth. But, no, it's just been great, getting to come back here, getting to play Augusta National is always a treat.

Q. And last question for you. Non golf related. Any thoughts about the Final Four?

EILA GALITSKY: I mean, I have to put my college up there. I didn't really follow along, so I can't really tell you, but I'm hoping USC as well.

Q. Fair enough. You have other things to worry about. Thank you so much.

EILA GALITSKY: Thank you.
