What do you think of her right hand position?

I wonder if she grips it that way at address, or if it just ends up that way. I know the club tends to end up a little deeper in my right hand after impact than it was at address. Of course, I have many grip/clubface problems!

Anyway, my father, who is 60 and a 4 handicap, has always gripped the club like that; way deep in the webbing between the right hand thumb and index.
 
She starts off in an orthodox right hand position and the club settles back into this webbed position at the end of the finish.

I've seen countless good players get here. Looks kinda odd, but the ball is long gone.

I've seen Anthony Kim get into this position as well; and have always wondered exactly how that happens.

Does the momentum of the clubead pull the shaft and grip into the "v" of the right hand?
 
Wouldn't it just be gravity causing the club to fall into the web between thumb and forefinger as the hands pass the left ear (for a right hander) on the follow through?

That's my take on it anyway.
