Watching the US open last weekend, there was some closeup of his swing. It looks like he had interlocking grip. I have it taped and could review again. Are you implying he used a reverse overlap?
Also interesting was I was watching the 3rd round (the 4th hole at pebble?) was 280 yards and mostly everyone was taking hybrid or 3 wood to reach the hole. Michelson and Johnson hit an iron to try to reach the green. Ishikawa takes out a driver and people gasping thinking he was going over the green but he aims left and cuts it and the ball slices right into the green around 20 feet from the hole
