April Event

Alright folks, two holes in the book and it’s been steady stuff out there. Brendan Considine managed to get himself back to square on the scoreboard—he’s been sitting at +1 after a bogey on the fifth and then a tidy par on the sixth to hold the line. Dave Flanagan has been even-keeled as well, with par on both holes to stay right on even. And Ryan Kelly? He’s also inching along at +1, carding par, par across holes five and six—no drama, just doing the job under pressure.

Brendan Considine rolls in for par on the 6th—and that keeps the wheels turning as he stays 3rd on the card.

It’s a steadier spell from Brendan, and with the round trend moving in the right direction, he’s doing exactly what you want: take your number, keep the pressure on, and build from here.

Score on the hole: Par ( +1 )
Total points: 11

Ryan Kelly strolls through Hole 6 and brings it home at par — a tidy +1 on the day. Nothing flashy, but it’s exactly the sort of controlled golf that keeps the pressure from spreading.

He’s sitting 3rd with 11 points, and the round trend is declining—that’s a comforting sign as we push deeper into the back end.

And there it is, Dave Flanagan comes in on Hole 6 with par—a tidy piece of control under pressure. He’s sat 1st in the clubhouse at 12 points, and the round trend stays nicely declining; that’s what you want when the back nine starts whispering for bold decisions.

It’s steady, it’s smart, and Flanagan’s letting the course come to him.

Hole 5 — Ryan Kelly stays nice and tidy at par, and it’s a big little moment for him out there. He’s up to 9 total points and sits in 3rd, with the round trend still heading in the right direction.

That’s the sort of steady golf you want: no drama, no detours—just keep the momentum rolling.

Brendan Considine rolls in for a bogey on the 5th, staying at +1 as he sits 3rd on the leaderboard. The story of his round so far is a declining trend—and while that bogey costs a bit, you’d be mad to write him off this early.

With 9 points on the board, this is where Brendan needs to tighten the screws: give yourself chances, keep the ball in play, and let the putts do the talking from here.

Dave Flanagan has been made to work for it on Hole 5, but he does the job—finishes on par and keeps his momentum headed the right way.

He’s currently sitting in 2nd, on 10 points, and with the round trend staying declining, that steadier rhythm is exactly what you want as the front half winds on.

Good control from Dave there—no drama, just clean execution.

Nick Dougherty here, and we’ve just seen Brendan Considine roll in a par on Hole 4. That’s a steady, composed response—keeping him right in the mix.

He’s sitting 1st at the moment with 8 points, and the good news? The round trend is declining, so you feel like he’s in control of his rhythm rather than chasing it.

Good golf. Now it’s all about carrying that momentum onto the next one.

Ryan Kelly strolls through Hole 4 with a tidy par—a steadying moment as he sits 3rd with 7 points on the board. And you can see that round trend starting to decline, which is exactly what you want when the pressure’s there.

Nick Dougherty: Dave Flanagan marches on at Hole 4, finding par to keep things steady as he sits in 2nd place. With 8 points on the board and that round trend continuing to look downhill, this is the kind of calm, controlled golf that keeps pressure on everyone else.

Well, at the end of three holes, it’s all square across the board—eight players sitting level par and nobody quite making the statement run you’d love to see. Ryan Kelly is the one to nudge forward at +1, while the flags are planted firmly for Dave Flanagan and Brendan Considine on par as the leaders of the pack.

What stands out early is how tightly the group is bunched: Ciaran Considine, Danny Finn, Eoghan Considine, Evan O'Keeffe, Alan Dempsey and Phil Staunton all hold level after their opening looks, with Tony McHale doing likewise. It’s a calm start—no panic, no fireworks—just a level chase and plenty of holes left for someone to turn the dial.

Alright, we’ve been following this group across the last two holes and it’s been a real mixed bag. Brendan Considine has steadied the ship brilliantly—back-to-back pars at holes 2 and 3, keeping him locked at even. Dave Flanagan couldn’t quite hold that momentum though: a bogey followed by a par leaves him still even, but you can feel he’ll want to tidy up those couple of swings before the round slips away. And Ryan Kelly—well, he started with par, but the wheels wobbled at the third hole with a double bogey, so he’s sitting +1 after two holes. Big moment for Ryan to respond quickly, because this is where momentum can flip in a hurry.

Brendan Considine rolls in at the par on Hole 3—and that’s exactly the sort of steady footing you want with the leaderboard feeling just a touch more crowded.

He’s currently 2nd on 6 points, and with the round trend in a declining direction, the pressure is on in a good way: tidy golf, keep the ball moving, don’t get clever.

Alright folks, insider gossip from the fairways: Ryan Kelly is quietly buzzing at 3rd and somehow has found a rhythm with his putting that looks way too calm for a guy with 5 points on the board. I’m hearing he’s been leaning on one very specific pre-shot routine—same breath, same tempo, and a quick thumb-check on his grip—because the moment his pace starts wandering, his confidence seems to follow. Nothing “dramatic,” just that telltale tour-truth: he’s tightening up the small stuff while everyone’s watching the big swings… and that’s why he’s hanging around the top like he belongs there.

Ryan Kelly on +1 through 3 and somehow still managing to look surprised by every swing… like the golf course just pulled a prank on him. Double bogey on 3? Buddy, you’re not playing golf—you’re auditioning for “Most Dramatic Bunker Entertainer.” 😂

Ryan Kelly has just dropped one on Hole 3, carding a double bogey. You can feel the momentum shift—one of those holes where suddenly the margin vanishes and the scoreboard starts to sting. Still, he’s sitting in 3rd position, with 5 points on the board and a declining round trend right now.

Right here, it’s all about getting back on the fairway, keeping it simple, and letting the pars build again. The comeback starts with the next shot.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly is in the middle of a tense back-and-forth, and right now he’s feeling the heat on the course. After finishing Hole 3 with a double bogey, Kelly finds himself in 3rd place with 5 points—and the round trend is still declining.

In a rivalry like this, one slip can swing momentum fast. Kelly will need to steady the ship from here—because the player across from him will be licking their chops after that Hole 3 swing in the wrong direction.

And there we go for Dave Flanagan on Hole 3—he’s made par. It’s a steady little moment, not flashy, but exactly the sort of golf you need when you’re trying to keep your card clean.

He’s in third at the moment with 6 points, and the round trend is still heading the right way—good signs for him as we move forward.

Dave Flanagan gets his round back on the rails on Hole 2 with a bogey—and you can feel the pressure in the air as he slots into 3rd on 4 points.

It’s a bit of a grind early, but the round trend is still declining, and that’s exactly where you want to be: steady, composed, and ready to turn one mistake into momentum.

Alright then, Ryan Kelly on Hole 2 and that’s par—steady stuff. He’s sitting in a nice position too, 2nd place on 5 points, and the momentum is clearly building as the round trend shows him improving.

Not every hole needs fireworks—sometimes it’s about keeping it in play, hitting the right yardage, and letting the birdie chances come to you. And at the moment, Ryan’s managing the round beautifully.
