South Carolina head coach Kalen Anderson praised Galitsky's talent, while also noting the need for her to improve her shot flight in windy conditions.

Galitsky's enrollment at South Carolina bolsters the Gamecocks, who are currently ranked fourth, alongside All-Americans Hannah Darling and Louise Rydqvist.

Previously, Galitsky gained recognition by winning the Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific and earning low-amateur honors at the LPGA's Chevron Championship two years ago.

Reflecting on her career path, Galitsky initially considered turning professional after her Asia-Pacific win but chose to pursue college golf based on advice from peers.

At the Patsy Hankins Trophy, Galitsky's Asia-Pacific team triumphed over Woad's side with a score of 21-11, with Woad acknowledging Galitsky’s impressive driving ability.

Woad, the reigning Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion, has maintained a strong performance record, finishing in the top 10 in every amateur event since 2023.

Eila Galitsky, an 18-year-old Thai golfer, has gained attention for her impressive performances, including multiple victories over world No. 1 Lottie Woad.

During the recent Moon Golf Invitational, Galitsky showcased her skills by overcoming a three-shot deficit with four holes to play, ultimately leading the field with an impressive 14 birdies.

In a thrilling sudden-death playoff, Galitsky clinched the trophy with a remarkable 35-foot putt, although Woad still receives official credit for the event as playoffs are not recognized in NCAA regular-season competition.

Embracing her college experience, Galitsky has enjoyed the camaraderie with her teammates while adjusting to team play and the reduced preparation time.

Despite a rocky start in her college debut at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge, Galitsky demonstrated resilience in her subsequent performances.
