Rory McIlroy Lives Rent-Free on Jenny Shin’s Mind as the LPGA Star Freaks Out Over ‘Immaculate’ Ryder Cup Moment

After Team Europe’s 2023 Ryder Cup win, American players like Justin Thomas and Max Homa took to their social media accounts to congratulate their opponents. Thus, it would not be wrong to say that regardless of the cutthroat competition, a unique bond ties the golfing community together. 

Recently, something similar was exemplified by Jenny Shin, the South Korean cover girl of LPGA, who went out of her way and took a moment to commend Ryder Cup Team USA’s opponent, European veteran Rory McIlroy’s  “impeccable” form. 

Jenny Shin in total awe of “Rors”

Rory McIlroy showed a top-notch performance at the Ryder Cup this year, coming forth as one of the best players this season, thus redeeming his 2021 Ryder Cup defeat in a commendable manner. At this year’s Ryder Cup, McIlroy played a total of five matches out of which he won four by a considerable margin. His game was commended by fans and golfers alike. 

Jenny Shin recently posted a clip of the McIlroy on the Roman greens on her Instagram. In the clip, Rory McIlroy is seen making an accurate and controlled short shot onto the green. The clip is a recap post from the September weekend matches in Italy, and the caption of the video reads: “What have we seen?” 

An awe-struck Shin posted the video on her IG Story expressing her thoughts about the Roman grass and McIlroy’s form with the caption: “Imagine practicing at a course with conditions that immaculate.” Talking about how she would love to practice on the course, she added, “I’d be there all day. Practicing nasty nippy chip shots.”

To contextualize McIlroy’s gameplay at Rome better, here’s a quick recap of how his form was this season.
