Quick Quotes

Q. Another strong round here today. Can you talk us through how it went, how you felt?

EILA GALITSKY: Honestly, I just felt like I kind of was in this zone the first nine. My mom did actually give me a 5-hour energy thing before I went, so I was shaking a lot. The first five holes felt like I drank four cups of coffee. But then I got my heart to calm down and, yeah, started playing pretty well.

I think the most important part for me today was getting my drives into the fairway. I think that really helped because then I would have an easy wedge in. So, yeah, and my putting was pretty good.

Q. Any particular holes that worked really well for you?

EILA GALITSKY: Basically any par-4. It's pretty short, so my distance really comes in handy if I just keep the ball straight, yeah.

Q. So what are you going to be working on this afternoon?

EILA GALITSKY: A little bit with my irons. I wasn't hitting them so good today.

Q. Feeling confident going into the weekend, then?

EILA GALITSKY: Yeah. I've never really played in the lead group, so a little bit nervous but exciting.

Q. This is the first time. It's great to be up there.

EILA GALITSKY: Yeah.

Q. Working hard to on your golf the last few months?

EILA GALITSKY: Yeah, I did.

Q. Take us through hole 17.

EILA GALITSKY: Hole 17, I hit 2-iron off the tee. I pulled it a little bit, so it went into the left bunker. Had, I think, 67 yards to the pin. I was debating between a full 58 out of the bunker or a half 54. Decided in the end, because it was kind of a downhill lie, so I decided with the half 54. Hit it to about, I would say 15, 20 feet and I drained the putt, so, yeah.
