June Event

Alan Dempsey stays right there, still -2 after seven—this is what leadership looks like when you don’t need to chase, you just keep the ball in play and let the course come to you. Ryan Kelly also threads the needle, moving to -2 after nine; that’s now a real two-horse race, because when the pursuer gets that close, everybody behind starts calculating quickly—birdie becomes duty, not chance.

Then the middle has tightened into a chase: Padraig Burke is up to +1 after seven and Oisin O’Malley is at +1 after six—both will be looking for a couple of scores to swing things back their way. But the real headline is the wobble back from +3—Mike Rockall now at +4 after six, Ciaran Considine +4 after ten, and Phil Staunton +4 after six—while Paul O’Donnell, Eoghan Considine, and Tony McHale all sit at +3. With scores at +3 and +4 piling in, the next phase—who finds a birdie streak—will decide who makes this a contest and who just watches it unfold.

Paul O’Donnell standing over par on 7 like it’s a major championship… bestie, you’re +3 and the only thing “climbing” is the heckle level. 🙃 5th place, trend’s declining—keep swinging like the scoreboard owes you money! ⛳️😂

Hole 7 and Alan Dempsey is ticking along nicely—par on the card, keeping that momentum. Sitting 2nd in the field, he’s now up to 16 points overall, and you can see that round trend is definitely improving.

That steady play is exactly what you need out there: hold your line, stay patient, and let the better chances come.

Alright, Wayne Riley here, and it’s been a really lively couple of holes. Ryan Kelly has been the standout—he’s rolled in back-to-back birdies at holes 8 and 9, staying rock solid on the back nine and holding that early momentum at -2. Meanwhile Danny Finn has shown some resilience, posting a par at 8 before firing a birdie at 9, finishing those two holes around +5 overall. Liam Rockall, though, had a slightly tougher run—starting with a bogey at 8—then managing to steady himself with par at 9, also parked at +5. So at the moment, Kelly’s putting real daylight into the field with that birdie form, while the others are trying to regroup and limit the damage.

Let’s go Ryan Kelly! 🔥 Birdie on 9 and he’s hanging tough in 1st—that improving trend is REAL. 💪⛳️ Keep rolling! #Golf #BirdieSeason

Ryan Kelly has just wrapped up Hole 9 with a birdie, and what a tonic it is for his round. He’s sitting 1st right now with 20 points, and the trend is clearly improving—you can see the momentum swinging his way.

That’s the sort of finish that separates the field: strike it with intent, keep the putter cooperating, and suddenly the golf course starts giving you something back. Long may this purple patch last.

Rivalry Spotlight: Ryan Kelly

Ryan Kelly has seized the momentum on the back nine—he just carded a birdie on Hole 9—and he’s sitting in 1st place with 20 points. The round trend is improving, and that’s exactly the kind of swing you want when you’re trying to outpace a rival: keep it clean early, then turn pressure into birdie opportunities.

When Kelly gets on a roll like this, the rivalry dynamic shifts—he forces his opponent(s) to chase, and that typically leads to riskier swings under the spotlight.

Next up: With his confidence rising, Kelly will look to stack another low score and widen the gap.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest)

1st Alan Dempsey — 6/4 (best position, early -2 after 6)

2nd Ryan Kelly — 7/2 (-1 after 8)

3rd Padraig Burke E — 7/1 (level par after 6, solid base)

4th Oisin O'Malley — 12/1 (+1 after 6)

5th Eoghan Considine — 14/1 (+3 after 6)

Liam Rockall (your man) — 80/1 — Par on 9, but the round trend is dipping and you’re currently 14th on 13 points.

How it might finish: Looks like a tight one if Alan keeps finding the fairway—he’s the “hold the lead” type at this stage. Ryan has the momentum on longer holes (8 down), but with the leaders still within striking distance, we could see a late push from the +1 to +3 crowd.

Paddy Power Golf Specials — here are the latest tournament odds based on the current leaderboard snapshot.

Top of the market (outright to win)

• Alan Dempsey — 3/1 (currently -2 after 6)
• Ryan Kelly — 9/2 (currently -1 after 8)
• Padraig Burke E — 7/1 (currently +0 after 6)
• Oisin O'Malley — 10/1 (currently +1 after 6)
• Mike Rockall — 12/1 (currently +4 after 6)

And Danny Finn? He’s 13th on 13 points and just popped a birdie on 9 — momentum looks patchy, but that birdie keeps him in the mix. Outright odds: 80/1.

Quick thoughts on how it might finish: the model’s leaning towards Alan Dempsey to hold his nerve near the top — early lead + strong position in the scoring. That said, with Ryan Kelly lurking just off the pace, we could still see a late twist if the front-runners start dropping shots under pressure.

Danny Finn has the momentum on his side at the moment—he just stuck Birdie on Hole 9 and finds himself sitting 14th with 13 total points.

The rivalry angle is heating up: Finn’s ability to keep climbing after turning points is what makes these matchups so tight. With the round trend currently declining, he’ll be looking to turn that into a sustained surge—because the guy across the leaderboard won’t give him many easy swings.

Bottom line: Finn is in striking range, and if he can keep the pressure on from here, this rivalry could flip fast on the back nine.

Alright, here’s the clubhouse gossip on Ciaran Considine: word is he’s been working overtime on a “quiet” little swing tweak—nothing flashy, just a more patient transition—because he’s trying to clean up the start of his rounds. You can see the payoff too: he’s currently sitting 8th with 16 points, and the vibe around his camp is that once he tightens the first few holes, the whole scoring run opens up. Also, insiders are betting he’s got a new wedge feel he’ll unleash soon—let’s just say his short game has been a little too confident lately.

Oh wow Ciaran Considine really said “double the bogey, double the drama” on 10. Down to +4 and still somehow 8th… impressive hustle, not the good kind 😭🏌️‍♂️

Ciaran Considine just weathered a rocky moment at Hole 10 with a double bogey, and that’s a big swing in the rivalry narrative.

Right now he’s sitting 8th on the leaderboard with 16 points, and the round trend is declining—so this is the kind of position where momentum becomes personal.

In these head-to-head matchups, a double bogey isn’t just a score—it’s a message. The question from here: can Considine turn this late wobble into a statement, or does his rival seize control as the pressure rises?

Dan Rapaport here. Word around the ropes is that Mike Rockall—currently sitting 9th on 8 points—has been quietly tweaking his pre-shot routine like a man searching for lost timing. A couple of the boys in the gallery swear they’ve seen him taking one extra breath on short putts, and—no joke—his caddie has been flagging the greens the way you do when you’re planning for a comeback, not a back-nine slog. If he’s suddenly dialing in those reads, watch out: the guys above him better hope he isn’t finding the form that was hiding just off-camera.

Mike Rockall out here playing like he owes the golf course money 😭 Hole 6: double bogey… and you’re still +4. Bro just blinked at the ball and called it “strategy” 😂

Keep that declining round trend going—maybe you’ll trip into par by accident!

Mike Rockall just stumbled at Hole 6 with a double bogey, and that swing is the kind that reshapes a rivalry fast. He’s currently sitting at 9th with 8 points, and the round trend is declining—a tough look when you’re trying to keep pace with a rival who’s looking to apply pressure on every stretch.

In this matchup, Rockall’s challenge right now is momentum: after that hit to the scorecard, the rivalry becomes about recovery—can he steady the ship in the back nine, or will his rival capitalize on the gap?

Alright, golf fans—Dan Rapaport here, and I’m hearing some *juicy* clubhouse whispers about Stevie Geraghty. He’s sitting up at 14th on the leaderboard with 7 total points, but the talk in the ropes is that his “safe” play might actually be masking a bit of a confidence wobble—something about him changing wedges mid-round to chase a more predictable strike. The insiders say he’s been working on a smoother rhythm off the turf, and if that click happens early tomorrow, watch out: Stevie could flip from careful to downright dangerous. Stay tuned—this one’s got momentum potential.

STE-VIE GER-AGHTY is out here treating scratched like it’s a limited-time promo. 😭

Hole 6: scratched. Position: 14th. Points: 7. Round trend: declining… buddy I’ve seen fewer car wrecks on a beginner driver range.

Come on Stevie—at least try to swing like the ball owes you money! 💸🏌️‍♂️

Rivalry Update: Stevie Geraghty is still in the thick of it on the back nine, but the tone just turned sharply at Hole 6 with a scratched score. That’s the kind of swing you see when two rivals are trading blows—momentum gets stolen fast.

With Stevie sitting at 14th and 7 points, the round trend is declining, and that usually sets up a big test: can he steady the ship and stop giving his rival easy advantages?
