April Event

Stevie Geraghty out here treating Hole 10 like it’s a jump-scare. Double bogey and you’re still +6 through 10… buddy that’s not “course management,” that’s “course speedrunning disaster.” 😂

How you swing it like a hero, then park it in “oops” like it’s sponsored? C’mon! 15th ain’t a strategy!

Rivalry Update: Stevie Geraghty is battling hard in this matchup, and right now the scoreboard tells you everything—he’s 15th with 14 total points and a declining round trend.

On Hole 10, Stevie came up with a double bogey—the kind of swing that can dramatically shift a rivalry momentum, especially when the opponent is watching for cracks and will pounce on every lost stroke.

At this stage, it’s all about recovery: Stevie needs to tighten up quickly to prevent his rival from turning this slip into separation.

Paddy Power Golf Odds (latest) — Mike Rockall to finish in contention

Mike Rockall (currently 17th, +11 points) — 100/1

Winner market (top challengers)

• Danny Finn (-5 after 9/early lead) — 4/6
• Eoghan Considine (-3 after 9) — 7/2
• Liam Rockall (-2 after 11) — 9/1
• Dave Flanagan (-2 after 18) — 10/1
• Ciaran Greene (-1 after 9) — 16/1
• Evan O'Keeffe (E after 9) — 20/1
• Tom Curtin (+1 after 11) — 25/1
• Tony McHale (+1 after 9) — 25/1

Quick take: Finn looks like he’s stolen the momentum with that early -5. If he can just keep it tidy coming in, it finishes Finn comfortably. But if Eoghan gets a couple of looks at birdie, we could see a late wobble—still, I can’t have anyone catching that start unless they go very low.

How it might finish: Danny Finn to hang on for the win, Eoghan Considine likely to chase hardest in second.

Paddy Power Latest Tournament Odds (Top Contenders)

• Danny Finn (-5 after 9): 4/1 — Red-hot at the turn and looking very comfortable if that bogey count stays low.
• Eoghan Considine (-3 after 9): 6/1 — In the mix all the way; if he keeps grinding rather than swinging, he’s a big threat.
• Liam Rockall (-2 after 11): 8/1 — Two extra holes played gives him more chances to press; needs a couple more birdies to break away.
• Dave Flanagan (-2 after 18): 10/1 — Already banked the work; from here it’s about consistency and avoiding the big momentum swings.
• Ciaran Greene (-1 after 9): 16/1 — Starts fast, but can he keep the scoring legs turning for the back nine runs?

How it could finish

Likeliest outcome: a close-run battle at the top between Danny Finn and Eoghan Considine, with Liam Rockall and Dave Flanagan lurking if the course firms up and birdies dry out.

Note: Odds are “live” based on the leaderboard snapshot and early-round form.

Oi Phil Staunton, up to +8 after 9 and still acting like the greens owe you money. That “strategy” is giving lost & found—because my patience sure is missing.

19th place, 10 points, and the trend line’s doing cardio… down. 😮‍💨🏌️

Paddy Power Tourney Update

After 9 holes (or the latest completed holes), here’s how the market is shaping up:

• Danny Finn (-5 after 9) — 4/1 to win
• Eoghan Considine (-3 after 9) — 7/2 to win
• Liam Rockall (-2 after 11) — 12/1 to win
• Dave Flanagan (-2 after 18) — 14/1 to win
• Ciaran Greene (-1 after 9) — 20/1 to win
• Evan O'Keeffe (E after 9) — 33/1 to win
• Tony McHale (+1 after 9) — 40/1 to win

Quick hot take: Finn looks like he’s set up to go on with that early control, while Considine is the class act chasing him down. Evan O’Keeffe is improving and in the right sort of spot—he just needs to string together a couple of bold swings on the back nine to turn “steady” into “serious”.

How it could finish: If the low scores hold, we’re likely heading for a Danny Finn vs Eoghan Considine scrap, with Rockall/Flanagan lurking if they keep putting pressure on the leaders late.

LETS GO Evan O’Keeffe! 💪 Hole 9 to par and he’s sitting 6th with 18 points—that round trend is getting better by the hole. Keep trusting the swing, E to 9 is just building momentum! ⛳️🔥 #Golf #KeepItGoing

Alright folks, Dan Rapaport on the inside—there’s chatter floating around the clubhouse that Paul O’Donnell has been quietly tinkering with his pre-shot routine, like he’s trying to “clean up” the tempo after a couple of wobbly looks. Nothing dramatic on the scorecard, but at 19th with 11 points, the vibe is he’s hunting for steadier ball-striking rather than swinging harder—apparently a trusted practice partner has been nudging him to slow down his transition and trust the irons a touch more. If he dials that in, watch out, because the talk is he’s been close on a few holes all week.

🏌️ Paddy Power Tournament Odds (Latest)

After 9/11/18 holes (as provided) — markets priced off the current leaderboard.

1) Danny Finn — 3/1

2) Eoghan Considine — 9/2

3) Liam Rockall — 6/1

4) Dave Flanagan — 8/1

5) Ciaran Greene — 12/1

Dark horses: Evan O’Keeffe 16/1, Daire Greene 20/1, Tom Curtin 20/1

Where it might finish: Danny Finn looks the banker of the field with the early lead at -5, but Eoghan Considine is right on the heels and could nick it if he keeps it tidy on the back nine. The best value in the mix is Liam Rockall — just needs a couple of repairs after that -2.

Paul O’Donnell update (19th, dbl bogey on 9): odds for him aren’t being made at the front-end — but if the declining form snaps back quickly, he can still climb into the shake-up.

Welp, Paul O’Donnell is really out here turning a stroll into a doubles event… dbl bogey on 9 to sit +7 in 19th. That “round trend” is doing laps in the wrong direction 😂

Rivalry Update: Paul O'Donnell is locked in a tough swing-for-swing battle right now, and after a double bogey on Hole 9, the momentum has turned against him.

From here at 19th with 11 total points, O'Donnell’s round trend is declining—and that’s exactly where this rivalry tends to bite: the player who stays calm and keeps pressure off usually gets the edge on the back nine.

Next stretch is key—O'Donnell needs to stem the bleeding early and start flipping holes into pars to challenge his rival’s rhythm.

Danny Finn has done exactly what leaders are meant to do—-5 after 9 and still in total control of the narrative. Eoghan Considine holds firm at -3 after 9, but the chase is starting to stretch out rather than simply pile in. Liam Rockall moves into a slightly better position at -2 after 11, which means the leaders’ cushion is no longer quite as comfortable as it looked a couple of holes ago.

Behind them, the back nine has brought some sorting. Dave Flanagan stays at -2 after 18, a steady card that suggests he’ll be hard to beat once the dust settles. The rest are clustered around par and slightly worse: Ciaran Greene (-1 after 9) is still hanging in there, but Ciaran Considine (+1 after 11), Daire Greene (+1 after 11), Tom Curtin (+1 after 11), and Tony McHale (+1 after 9) are all fighting over the same patch of scoreboard space—every shot from here is going to feel like a statement.

Oh man, Daire Greene is flying right now in 7th with 21 total points—that swing is pure confidence. You can see the smooth tempo, the way he stays connected through impact, and that low-cut strike that comes off the face like a promise. The rotation is on time, his hands don’t get busy, and the finish says he trusts the process. If he keeps this rhythm, he’s absolutely in the conversation.

🎬 New season alert! We’re hearing Daire Greene could be rolling into Full Swing next year.

After an eagle on Hole 11, he’s sitting 7th with 21 points—and the vibe? Calm competitor energy. Declining trend, sharp focus, and that “let’s make the bold play” confidence that makes great TV.

On the show, expect him to chat strategy between swings, own the clutch moments, and maybe even try to turn one wild hole into a signature storyline. 👀🏌️‍♂️

Full Swing—yes. Daire drama—probably.

Rivalry Watch: Daire Greene just lit up Hole 11 with an eagle, and the momentum feels like a direct shot at his key rival—this is the kind of swing that turns “close” into “crucial” in head-to-head golf.

Greene’s sitting at 7th with 21 points, and with the round trend declining, he’s doing what great rivals hate: applying pressure when the course gets tight.

Stand by—if he keeps stringing these low scores together, this rivalry could flip quickly from competitive to decisive.

Liam Rockall keeps things ticking along at Hole 11—he’s carded a bogey there, but the momentum in the round is still present. Right now he sits in 3rd position on 24 points, and you can sense that round trend is declining—so he’ll want to steady the ship quickly and start stacking the pars again.

Danny Finn has held his nerve—-5 after 9 is still the benchmark, and when you’re that far ahead this early, every other group is playing a bit in self-defense. Eoghan Considine (-3 after 9) is right on his coattails in the chase, while Liam Rockall (-3 after 10) has stayed level with that same target. That trio at the top is setting the tone: stay calm, hit your lines, and don’t let the course write a new story for you.

Then you’ve got a clear change of complexion. Dave Flanagan drops to -2 after 18, which tells you he’s had some struggles on the back nine compared to the leaders. The midpack has gone slightly sideways too: Ciaran Greene (-1 after 9) is steady, but Ciaran Considine (+1 after 10) has slipped into the red, and the others are crowding around par—Evan O’Keeffe (E after 8), Tony McHale (+1 after 9), Tom Curtin (+1 after 10), while Alan Dempsey (+2 after 9) is chasing that momentum swing. It’s now about who can produce a couple of proper scoring holes from here.

Alright, Wayne Riley on the call here, and we’ve just come through holes 17 and 18 with plenty of movement in the group. Brendan Considine couldn’t quite capitalise early—he’s steady but under pressure after a par on 17 and then a bogey on 18, leaving him +3 overall. Over the back, Dave Flanagan showed a bit of flare with a birdie on 17, but it was followed by some scramble—he’s been brought back with a double bogey on 18, still sitting at -2. And Ryan Kelly has had a tough run: a bogey on 17 and another bogey on 18, so he’s standing at +5 after those two holes. Big swings there—now it’s about who steadies the ship and who makes the next run count.

Alright, golf fans—listen up. Dave Flanagan is sitting 4th with 38 points, and here’s the hush-hush: the boys in the scoring area say Dave’s been quietly tweaking his pre-shot routine—less “big talk,” more checklist—and it’s got him striking it cleaner at just the right moments. One guy swears he’s been practicing a couple of those sneaky mid-range wedges like he’s auditioning for a starring role, then walking straight to the next tee with this calm, almost stubborn focus. Nothing official, of course—but if Dave keeps that grindy, one-shot-at-a-time mindset, you’ll see him climb from “dangerous” to “suddenly everywhere.”

Dear Dave Flanagan, you were chasing greatness all round and then hit a double bogey like it was a bonus point challenge 😭 How are you somehow still 4th with 38 points—are the rest of the field okay??
