16-year-old Eila Galitsky captures low amateur at Chevron Championship

Eila Galitsky closed her first start at a major championship the same way she began, with a 2-under 70 that left her as the lowest amateur on the leaderboard at the Chevron Championship.

“It's my first ever major championship, and I just love it so much,” Galitsky said after the final round. “I hope to be back here one day.”

The 16-year-old earned her way into the Chevron by winning the Asia-Pacific Women’s Amateur by five shots over Korea’s Minsol Kim. That victory will also get Galitsky into the AIG Women’s Open and Amundi Evian Championship later this year.
