It seemed to me based on Johnny Miller's commentary that he would describe a hook that starts right and misses left as a pull hook and I'm assuming a shot that starts right hooks and still misses right would then be a push hook.

This isn't the standard convention I'm familiar with, which is it?

Additional info, they showed Rory's shot on protracer a number of times and he usually started the ball down the right side and curved it into the left rough and this was repeatedly called a pull hook.

If it starts right of the intended target and draws over (hook as commentators like to say), then its a push draw, if the ball starts left of the intended target and draws further left, its called a pull draw, for a right handed player.

Johnny Miller always changes his definitions of shots during the broadcasts. Shots that clearly start right and hook, he often calls them a 'pull'.

It appears to me that Johnny Miller doesn't know what is going on half the time. I don't get how they have him as a commentator at all

    • These are the courses that I remember, but there may be others that I’m not remembering at the moment. I broke 100 atOakland Hills one time, but what I shot otherwise will be taken to the grave with me.    Country Club of the North - Several LPGA tournaments NCR Country Club South Course - 51st PGA, 41st US Women’s Open, 05 US Senior Open (attended) TPC Michigan - Ford Senior Players Championship Valhalla - 24, 14, 2000, and 96 PGA Championships, 11, and 04 Senior PGA Championships, 08 Ryder Cup Oakland Hills - 08 PGA Championship, 04 Ryder Cup, 96, 85, 61 and other US Opens TPC Sawgrass - The Players Championship  
    • Torrey Pines PGA West Stadium, and the two Jacks and the Palmer Rancho park Wilson/Harding (like Rancho LA Open way back in the day) Riviera (dozens of times in high school) Wilshire  Rancho Mirage Trump National Indian Wells
    • For me it was combo of good drama and total last man standing collapse... But it showed me once again that "ball rollback" is nonsense...when courses are set up to punish missed fairways and greens, that's where the quality golf (or total collapse) takes place...hurting the rest of us because a relatively few can bomb it 100 yards farther is idiotic...that Young bomb on 18 was gutsy... He misses the fairway with that he likely doesn't win, at least on that hole...
    • Followed by the longest drive on 18 in the shotlink era. That is a tough shot and he stood up there and did it. Fair play to him.
