Jenny Shin fell prey to homesickness

In her decade long career, Shin has traveled to different countries and played in their courses. This time too she is visiting Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Country Club West Course for the Maybank Championship. While playing is not bothersome to the 2 times LPGA winner, it is the hotel rooms which has caused her to lose her precious sleep over.

Shin is currently standing tied at 52 in the Maybank Championship, Kuala Lumpur. Jenny finished her third round with 2-under 69. Later, she shared a tweet with her fans and expressed one thing she was missing immensely.

9,000 miles away from her home, in Malaysia, Shin was missing her bed. She explained that “I’m happy to be playing wherever I’m playing.” She further added, “I’m starting to hate hotel rooms.” Jenny is feeling “homesick” and missing her bed. 

She has finished her third round at the Maybank Championship. However, it looks unlikely that Shin will acquire a place in the top 20 after the final round tomorrow.
