LET’S GO, Eoghan Considine! Birdie on Hole 9 and climbing into 4th with an 18-point total. That improving trend is 🔥—keep it rolling, Eoghan! ⛳️💪 #Golf #MadeInMotion

Eoghan Considine has been sharpening his edge on the back nine—he just stuck a birdie on Hole 9 to move into 4th place with 18 points, and the round trend is improving.

In this rivalry, that’s the kind of swing that matters: Considine is starting to close the gap with steadier play and momentum on scoring holes. Watch how the duel intensifies from here—if he keeps converting chances like this, the pressure shifts onto his rival as the lead tightens heading down the stretch.

Paddy Power latest tournament odds — and it’s tight at the sharp end after a busy early stretch.

1/1 — Ryan Kelly (currently -3 after 10)

6/1 — Alan Dempsey (currently -2 after 8)

8/1 — Padraig Burke E (currently +1 after 8)

10/1 — Eoghan Considine (currently +1 after 8)

12/1 — Oisin O'Malley (currently +1 after 7)

Outside chances: Paul O'Donnell (+3 after 8) and the pack at +4 look like they’ll need a late-rally to lift the silverware.

What I fancy to finish: Kelly to keep poking at scores—he’s dictating the pace. Dempsey looks the most likely to run him close, but with the leaderboard still jumbled, don’t be shocked if one of the +1/+3 lads starts stacking birdies late.

Evan O'Keeffe update: You’re par on the day and sit 18th on 8 points. With your round trend declining, you’ll want to steady the ship from here—birdies would be massive to climb quickly.

Oh Evan O’Keeffe, +10 through 9—absolutely cooking… in the wrong direction. That par on 9 is the only thing playing steady right now. Keep it up, bud—maybe you’ll find your ball around 18th… with a search party. 🫡⛳️

Paddy Power Golf — Tournament Odds (Latest)

From the current leaderboard pace, here’s how we’re pricing the field up:

1) Ryan Kelly (-3 after 10): 7/2
Starting fast and looks comfortable at the top—still plenty of golf left, but he’s got the momentum.

2) Alan Dempsey (-2 after 8): 9/2
A small deficit to Kelly to close—if he avoids any ugly holes, he’ll be right in it.

3) Padraig Burke E (E after 8): 8/1
Sitting steady near the summit; one early charge could flip him into outright contention.

4) Eoghan Considine (+1 after 8): 14/1
Within striking distance but needs to find low scores soon—can’t afford too many bogeys.

5) Brendan Considine (17th, +8 pts; bogey on 9; trend declining): 250/1
Bringing the wrong kind of form after the bogey—he’ll need a late run of birdies to climb.

How we think it might finish
Kelly to edge it on consistency, with Dempsey the most likely to pressure him. If the clubhouse gets a bit lower, Burke E could creep up late, but the guys outside the top three will need a big swing.

Brendan Considine really said “let’s just keep it on the fairway… emotionally.” 😭

+10 through 9, bogey on 9, and you’re tumbling down like a cheap TV remote. 17th place—big “mulligan in spirit” energy. 🥴

Play smart, not chaotic, king.

Alan Dempsey steps onto the tee with that calm, composed look—and on Hole 8 he’s right on the mark, playing it par.

From here, it’s all about control. He moves through in 2nd position with 18 points, and you can feel the round trend staying nicely on the decline—the kind of steady momentum that wins Saturdays.

Alright, golf fans—Dan Rapaport on the inside: Tony McHale is sitting pretty in the 14th spot with 11 points, but here’s the gossip—rumor is his caddie has been quietly steering him away from his usual “hero” lines, and Tony’s been testing a new pre-shot routine at the worst possible moments (read: right before he’s about to pull the trigger). The vibe in the ropes is that the putter’s a touch more cooperative than it was earlier, but Tony’s still trying to buy himself confidence one par-saving scramble at a time. Watch for him to either run hot down the stretch—or tighten up and let the leaderboard come to him.

Oh Tony McHale… +5 through 8 and you still found a way to make double bogey look like a personality trait. 🫠

Stay classy at 14th—my putt has more direction than that swing. #GolfFace #BackToTheRange

Tony McHale just got hit with a rough break on Hole 8, carding a double bogey as the rivalry heats up. From the 14th spot and 11 points, Tony’s round trend is declining—and that’s the kind of momentum swing his rival loves to pressure.

In this matchup, it’s rarely about finesse—it’s about who can stay steady when the course turns. Right now, Tony’s slip on Hole 8 gives his opponent a chance to reassert control with a string of clean holes.

Keep an eye on the back-half response: can Tony bounce back quickly, or will this rivalry tilt further against him?

Padraig Burke turns it on again at Hole 8, finding the birdie to move himself up the leaderboard. You can feel the momentum building—this is exactly the kind of sharp, controlled golf that keeps you climbing.

Right now he’s sitting 3rd, with 16 points on the board, and the round trend is declining—that’s the good direction.

Stay patient now, Padraig. The back nine rewards people who can keep the rhythm and avoid the little slip-ups.

Rivalry Update: Padraig Burke is really turning the screws. After drilling in for a birdie on Hole 8, he’s climbed to 3rd on the leaderboard with 16 points.

This kind of momentum is where rivalries get loud—Burke is playing with that “answer-right-away” mindset, forcing his counterpart to chase instead of set the pace. With the round trend declining, he looks poised to sharpen up his finish and keep the pressure on every swing from here.

Well, Ryan Kelly has just shoved himself right into the conversation—he’s dropped to -3 after 10, a shot clear of Alan Dempsey at -2 after seven. That’s the kind of scoring move that changes the feel of the round: the leader now has to behave a little, and the chasing pack can’t afford to go too conservative because Kelly’s already found a gear. Dempsey’s position is still solid, but you can see the pressure shifting as soon as Kelly takes the front.

Down the field it’s pretty static at +1 for Eoghan Considine, Padraig Burke and Oisin O’Malley after their earlier work, with Paul O’Donnell and Tony McHale holding at +3. Then the mid-to-back battle remains crowded: Phil Staunton is at +4 after seven, Ciaran Considine at +4 after eleven, Danny Finn also at +4 after ten. This is still a leaderboard where one good run of holes can lift you—so watch who attacks the next scoring stretch and who tightens up trying not to fall off the pace.

Alrighto, last two holes and the momentum’s been all over the shop. Ryan Kelly is flying—he’s carded birdies at both 9 and 10, keeping things nice and tidy on his total. Meanwhile Danny Finn has also found his way back-to-back with birdies on 9 and 10, though he’s still sitting on +4 overall, so he’ll be chasing that bigger swing of scores to climb the board. Over with Liam Rockall, it’s a mixed bag: a par at 9, then a bogey at 10, leaving him steady at +5. Big swing in form for Ryan and Danny—Liam will want to get back to the fairway and start ticking pars again.

Yesss Ryan Kelly! 🔥 Birdie on 10 to stay flying—currently -3 and rolling in 1st. Love to see the improving trend! Keep it coming! ⛳️💪 #Golf

Ryan Kelly has just turned heads on Hole 10—that’s a birdie, and he’s doing it with real momentum.

He’s currently 1st on the leaderboard with 23 points, and the round trend is improving. The swings are settling in, the putts are finding the right lines, and right now, it feels like he’s building something special.

Hole 10: Birdie for Ryan Kelly. Keep coming, keep compounding.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly—and right now, he’s turning that matchup into momentum.

Through Hole 10, Ryan just carded a birdie, propelling him to 1st on 23 points. The key storyline? His round trend is improving, which is exactly where this rivalry has historically been decided—when the pressure rises, Ryan’s ability to sharpen his finish has been the difference.

As he pushes forward, you can feel the tension in the matchup: this is the kind of start that forces his rival to swing at answers instead of their usual game plan.

Danny Finn just turned on the pressure with a birdie at Hole 10, and the momentum is clearly in his favor—he’s sitting 9th right now with 16 total points and a round trend that’s improving.

In this rivalry moment, that birdie matters: it’s the kind of spark that can flip the psychological edge—especially when the opponent needs stability and Finn keeps climbing. Expect the chase to tighten from here, because Finn’s recent form suggests he’s not just keeping pace—he’s actively trying to pass.

Alright, Wayne Riley here with the last two holes update and it’s been a real rollercoaster. Daire Greene battled through a double bogey on 7, then at 8 he managed to steady the ship with par—still sitting at +7 overall. Eoghan Considine has done the damage though: he found an eagle on 8 after holding things together with par on 7, so he’s clinging to +1 and looking dangerous. Meanwhile Brendan Considine has slid back with a bogey and then a double bogey, staying at +9. And Evan O'Keeffe—he’s had it tough as well, with a bogey followed by a double bogey, now at +10. So at the moment, it’s Eoghan’s momentum at the top, and everyone else is just trying to arrest the bleeding.

Alan Dempsey holds his nerve at -2 after seven—he’s got the lead, and crucially he’s protecting it with composure. Ryan Kelly stays right there at -2 after nine, so this isn’t turning into a two-horse race with a runaway; it’s still a match play of sorts at the top, where the next score off the tee and the next decent angle into greens decides who gets to apply the pressure.

Now the chase tightens: Eoghan Considine moves from +3 down to +1 after eight—there’s your momentum shift, and it’s the sort of swing that tells you someone’s finding something with the putter. Oisin O’Malley and Padraig Burke remain at +1 after seven, while Tony McHale and Paul O’Donnell sit at +3 after seven. Phil Staunton is at +4 after seven, Liam Rockall at +4 after nine, and Ciaran Considine stays at +4 after eleven—fourth place at +4 is starting to look like a barrier, but with another scoring opportunity round the corner, don’t write anyone off yet.
