April Event

Oh Padraig Burke… +5 thru 9 and you still acting like the double bogey on 9 was “part of the plan.” Buddy, your swing got lost, but the scorecard found it real fast. 😭⛳️

Rivalry update: On the back nine, Padraig Burke is battling to gain ground in a competitive matchup, and right now it’s a tough moment at Hole 9—a double bogey that’s dropped momentum fast.

Burke stands at 15th with 13 total points, and with the round trend declining, this rivalry is swinging toward whoever can stay steadier under pressure. The big question: can Burke arrest the slide and answer on the next holes, or will his opponent keep pressing the advantage?

Paddy Power Golf Odds (latest)

Eoghan Considine – currently 3rd at -3 after 9: 5/1 to win the tournament.

Danny Finn – -5 after 9: 11/8

Liam Rockall – -3 after 9: 9/2

Eoghan Considine (1st finish): With momentum looking a touch off (round trend: declining), he’ll need to steady the ship after the turn. Still, he’s right in the mix and only a couple of swings from going top.

How it might finish: I can see a late tussle at the top—Finn to hold his nerve, with Eoghan fighting for a podium if he stops the slide after the break.

Eoghan Considine marches up to the turn with a par on the ninth—and that keeps him rolling in the right direction. From the tee he’s been composed, and today the numbers are telling a story: 3rd place as he sits on 21 points.

It’s a declining round trend too—signs are strong that the pressure hasn’t rattled him. Now it’s about staying calm, doing the simple things again, and letting the scorecard look after itself.

Paddy Power Latest Tournament Odds (after the latest action to hand):

• Danny Finn (1st, -5 after 9): 4/7 — Looked the most in control early on; if he keeps it tidy from here, he’s the one to be with.
• Liam Rockall (3rd, -3 after 9): 6/1 — Right in the mix and capable of stringing a run together; the kind of player who’ll pounce when others wobble.
• Eoghan Considine (4th, -3 after 8): 7/1 — One of the more dangerous chasers; if he avoids the big numbers, he’ll stay right on the leaders.
• Dave Flanagan (2nd, -4 after 17): 9/1 — Still very much alive, but Finn has the cushion—Flanagan needs a late surge.
• Ciaran Greene / Ciaran Considine (both -1 after 8–9): 25/1 — Outside shots at the moment; they’ll need a proper back-nine spree to get into it.

How it might finish: With Finn improving and holding the lead, I fancy he’ll see it through—something like Danny Finn to win, with Rockall or Eoghan Considine the main challengers late on.

Danny Finn just played his 9th hole right back into the rhythm—par, and it keeps everything nicely under control.

Standing first in the clubhouse with 23 points, he’s still trending the right way too—round improving all the way through. It’s that kind of steady, measured golf that wins Sundays.

Let’s see if he can turn that momentum into something sharper on the back nine.

Well, Danny Finn is still the man in possession of the momentum—-5 after 8 is bold, and it’s the sort of score that forces the rest to either chase or settle. Eoghan Considine remains at -3 after 8, and you’ve got Liam Rockall lurking at -3 after 9, so that front group is still tight on numbers. After that, it’s started to compress: Ciaran Greene is now -1 after 8, and Ciaran Considine is -1 after 9—two different routes to the same spot, but both promising for them.

Behind, it’s a bit of a reset. Dave Flanagan holds -4 after 17, and you’d expect he’s either been patient or just avoided trouble—because once you’re that far in, the scoreboard tells the whole story. The rest are fighting for position at the moment: Tom Curtin at E after 9, Evan O’Keeffe E after 8, and the tail-end is under pressure with Alan Dempsey (+1 after 8) and Tony McHale (+2 after 8) needing a couple of clean swings to turn the tide.

Oh Mike Rockall… still out here playing “Find the Green” like it’s a scavenger hunt. 💀
Through 8 and you’re sitting +7—at this rate Hole 18 is gonna be a future problem, right? 😂

Alright folks, here’s the latest little clubhouse buzz: at 18th with 9 points on the board, Phil Staunton has been getting the kind of side-eye you only earn when your putter’s acting moody—word is he’s been tinkering with his routine between holes, and a couple of guys in the ropes claim he’s had the same two-grip conversation with his staff more times than he’s had birdie looks today. Nothing dramatic—just the “why won’t this start line hold?” panic creeping in when the round’s on the line. Stay tuned; if his tempo settles, he could flip this finish fast.

Oi Phil Staunton, “scratched” on 8? That’s not golf—it’s you taking a rain check on the rules. 😭

You’re sitting 18th with +7 and a “round trend” that’s doing more backflips than your putter. Keep it up, you absolute menace! ⛳️😂

Rivalry update: Phil Staunton is trying to claw momentum back in a tight matchup, but after Hole 8 he’s landed on a scratched score—an unfortunate swing that has him slipping to 18th with 9 points.

This is the kind of moment rivalries are made of: when the pressure rises, Staunton needs a quick rebound to flip the round trend back upward and start pushing back against his opponent’s advantage.

Evan O'Keeffe just turned the page on the rivalry—dropping a birdie on Hole 8 to move to 8th with 16 total points. The story around this matchup is simple: whenever Evan’s game is trending upward, his rival has to answer immediately.

Right now, that answer hasn’t been strong enough. With Evan’s round trend improving, his momentum is the kind that squeezes a rival’s patience—especially at the halfway mark where one hot stretch can flip the scoreboard.

Paul O’Donnell out here playing “bogey or maybe park a tent” on Hole 8. +5 after 8? Mate, the only thing improving is your backspin’s confidence—and even that’s losing the argument. Stay classy, 16th place legend 😭⛳️

Oisin O’Malley out here playing “Par-For-The-Course” like it’s a lifestyle choice 😭 Hole 8 was par, and somehow he’s still hanging around at +5 in 17th. Love to see the declining trend—real consistent vibes, buddy. 😂

Alright, golf fans—insider Dan Rapaport here. I’m hearing Tony McHale is feeling pretty good about where he sits (right around 10th with 14 points), but the real buzz? Word in the ropes is he’s been tweaking his pre-shot routine like a mad scientist—same club, same targets, just shaving seconds off everything. The caddies are acting like it’s no big deal, but trust me, when a guy starts tightening the routine mid-stream, it usually means he’s chasing a specific feel… and that’s the kind of thing that can turn a solid week into a sneaky-good finish.

BREAKING: Tony McHale just found a double bogey like it was a hidden feature. 😂

Hey Tony, the greens called—said you’re reading the wrong side of the map. From great vibes to dbl-bogey on 8 real quick. Love the “declining trend,” buddy. Keep it coming.

Rivalry update: Tony McHale is starting to feel the pressure in this matchup—especially on Hole 8, where a double bogey has him slipping to 10th on the day with 14 points.

With the round trend declining, Tony’s task is clear: he’ll need to flip the script on the next stretch to avoid letting his rival gain full momentum—because in this head-to-head, momentum is everything.

Ciaran Greene just flipped the momentum on Hole 8 with a birdie, and that’s a big shot in the ongoing rivalry he’s building—because when Ciaran gets on a heater, he starts forcing his opponent to answer, not chase. From 5th position and with the round trend improving, Greene’s swing is starting to look like the one that turns head-to-head match pressure into scoreboard separation.

Right now, this rivalry is playing out like a duel of confidence: Ciaran’s trajectory is trending up, and his opponent will need something special soon to slow him down.

Finn’s still got the front running with -5 after 8, and you can see why—when someone posts that early, the rest have to make choices. Eoghan Considine (-3 after 8) is right there in the mix, while Liam Rockall stays at -3 after 9; those two at the same number will be sizing up their next few holes, because you don’t want to give away momentum to a man who’s already found the low-ball rhythm.

Then it’s been a tidy sort of reshuffle behind them: Dave Flanagan slips from -3 to -4 after 17, which suggests a late bump—maybe a dropped shot that he can’t afford. The chasing pack is hovering around par—Ciaran Considine (-1 after 9) is still making progress, but Ciaran Greene, Tony McHale, and Tom Curtin are all still E—while the cut-line conversations are loud with Alan Dempsey (+1 after 7) and Evan O’Keeffe (+1 after 7) both needing the next scoring chances to land.

Yesss Dave Flanagan! Birdie on 17 and you’re sitting 2nd with that 🔥 improving trend. Hold it together—let’s finish strong and bring that momentum home! ⛳️💪
