My lesson is your lesson This is a good drill to do for a few reasons but you don't really need a big towel lol  For O'Hair I think it's good because it helps him keep the head more steady.  He tends to translate a little on the back swing and gets his alignments rotated too far to the right.  So the towel helps him "stretch" more on the back swing in order to load his arms up and back.  Notice how the entire right arm isn't pinned to his side, just in the upper/arm pit area.

This drill prob works for Vijay because it helps his swings feel more "around" on the downswing/followthrough and keep the upper right arm on the body.  Vijay can get the right arm disconnected too soon, elbow too far behind him.  Vijay also tends to play a cut or at least that was 95% of the shots I was seeing him hit during two range sessions.

Thanks, yes will be doing a few more of these in the future.  Did you see the coverage from the US Open and Vegas?

Yeah it's pretty good.  Couple others good ones if we're looking at solid alignments are Noh and Oberholser.  Obviously they are all good swings ;-)
