Some relationships truly stand the test of time, success, and whatever falls in between. Shin proved this as she talked about how her parents are actually amazing people in one of the following stories. She wrote, “My parents are amazing. They’ve sacrificed everything to be where I am but I wasn’t taught how to be a winner.”
This demonstrates the professional golfer’s loving relationship with both her parents and somewhat clears out the confusion surrounding her relationship with her father in the previous story. This somewhat throws light on how Shin has a good sense of humor as she was indeed joking in her previous story. She has had her share of troubles though.

Earlier this year, Shin made a spot for herself at the highly competitive US Women’s Open. Ever since she has overcome a career rut and has risen to establish her name further in the game of golf. However, it was not at all easy for Shin. It took a lot of determination and strength for her to overcome her struggles and rise higher.
