June Event

Alan Dempsey continues to set the standard at -2 after six—he’s not just leading, he’s controlling this phase of the course. Ryan Kelly has switched the conversation, moving to -1 after eight, which tells you he’s found a rhythm late; that’s the kind of climb that changes what everyone else feels is “makeable.” Up the middle, Oisin O’Malley is back at E after five and Padraig Burke is also E after six—still in the mix, but they’ll need the next window of scoring because the pack behind is sharpening.

And it’s getting feisty: Mike Rockall at +2 after five, Ciaran Considine +2 after nine, and then a serious chasing group—Eoghan Considine, Paul O’Donnell, Stevie Geraghty, and Tony McHale all sitting at +3 after varying numbers. Paul O’Donnell going to +3 after six is a reminder that the leaderboard can flip fast when one stretch goes the wrong way, so expect a scramble for birdie opportunities rather than conservative “just get round” golf.

And there it is—Ryan Kelly gets it done on Hole 8 with a birdie!

That’s a lovely little strike, the kind that keeps the pressure firmly on the field. He’s moving into 2nd place with 17 total points, and the round trend is definitely improving—you can feel it. Stay patient, stay aggressive, and if he keeps rolling like this, he’ll have a real chance to take control.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly is carrying the momentum right now—after birdie on Hole 8, he’s sitting 2nd with 17 points and a clear improving round trend. In this matchup, that’s exactly where rivals start to feel the pressure: when Kelly’s moving up the leaderboard, it forces his opponent to chase rather than control the rhythm.

With this kind of mid-round lift, the rivalry isn’t just close—it’s turning into a test of who can keep striking under pressure. Kelly’s showing the patience and scoring touch that can swing a head-to-head battle in a hurry.

Oi Danny Finn, you’re +6 through 8 and still looking for the “quick fix” like it’s a lost glove. 😅

Hole 8 went par—congrats, you nearly found the fairway of competence!

Stay classy, stay salty. I’m rooting for you… emotionally from the parking lot. 🏌️‍♂️

🏌️ Paddy Power Tournament Odds (Latest)

Based on current leaderboard positions only.

1) Alan Dempsey — 2/1 (in at -2 after 6)

2) Ryan Kelly — 6/1 (level at E after 7)

3) Padraig Burke — 7/1 (level at E after 6)

4) Oisin O’Malley — 8/1 (level at E after 5)

5) Mike Rockall — 12/1 (+2 after 5)

How it might finish: “Dempsey’s got the cushion at the top and, with the pace of the leaders looking tight, he’s the one to hold up—though a couple of the even-par lads (Kelly/Burke/O’Malley) can jump quickly if the back nine stays calm. Expect a finish with the winner hovering around par, with a late shuffle in the places.”

📌 Kevin Coen update: Bogey on 9, currently 17th on 11 points and trending down. He’ll need a few steadier swings to climb back into contention.

Bookies’ Call

Considine’s still in this at 6th and that par on the 9th keeps him in the mix, but with a declining round trend he’ll need a late surge. Best bet looks like Dempsey to hang on—I'd lean him to finish top 2, with Oisin O’Malley the main threat if he steadies coming down the stretch.

Likely Finish (Prediction): Alan Dempsey to win, Oisin O’Malley second, Padraig Burke third.

Paddy Power – Tournament Odds (Latest)

• Alan Dempsey (-2 after 6): 2/1 — Looks sharp and still has time to press.
• Oisin O'Malley (E after 5): 9/2 — Solid pace; a couple of birdie chances could swing it.
• Padraig Burke (E after 6): 5/1 — Made it tough for the chasing pack; keep it tidy and he'll be there.
• Ryan Kelly (E after 7): 6/1 — One of the safer-looking leaders; consistency wins from here.
• Mike Rockall (+2 after 5): 14/1 — Can shoot, but needs a few low numbers to get rolling.
• Ciaran Greene (+? currently 12th; bogey on 9th): 40/1 — Momentum's dipped; he'll need to turn bogeys into birdies fast.

How it might finish: Think Dempsey holds off the early leaders, with O'Malley and Burke the two main threats. If anyone breaks away late, keep an eye on the players sitting level/just off the lead who still have holes to hunt.

Tony McHale is keeping the pressure on in this rivalry as he rolls in a birdie on Hole 6. That push has him sitting in 10th with 9 points, and—most importantly—his round trend is still declining, meaning he’s trending toward lower scoring as the chase tightens.

In rival terms, this is the kind of momentum shift that swings the head-to-head: McHale isn’t just staying in the mix—he’s responding under heat, one sharp hole at a time.

Alright, here’s the clubhouse gossip on Paul O’Donnell: he’s sitting pretty in 7th with 9 points, but word is he’s been quietly testing a new tempo—same swing, just less “thrash” at the top—because he’s tired of giving away shots with that just-a-bit-too-fast transition. A couple of the guys on the loop say he’s been calling it his “Sunday fix,” and if it holds under pressure, you’ll see him climb fast… but if he starts rushing again, he’ll look like he’s fighting the course instead of playing it. Stay tuned—this one’s got streaky written all over it.

Paul O’Donnell out here treating a double bogey like it’s a warm-up lap. Hole 6? dbl bogey. You’re +3 through 6 and somehow still trending down—bravo, sir. 🎯⛳

Rivalry Update: Paul O'Donnell is in the thick of it, currently sitting 7th with 9 points as the round trend turns declining.

On Hole 6, O'Donnell hit a double bogey, and that swing matters—because in this rivalry, momentum is everything. When Paul slips, his opponent typically turns it into a cushion, and today’s leaderboard is already showing that pressure mounting.

If Paul can stabilize after the dbl bogey and start trading pars for safer holes, he can claw back against the pace set by his rival. Right now, though, the matchup feels like it’s tipping toward the other side.

Alan Dempsey steps up to Hole 6 and finds par, keeping the momentum rolling. He’s currently in 1st, sits on 14 total points, and the round trend is firmly improving.

That’s the kind of steady golf that wins you weekends—no panic, just precision.

And that’s a bogey at Hole 6 for Padraig Burke, finishing with an E on the day. He’s still sat 2nd in the pack with 12 points, and you can feel the pressure creeping in—though the round trend is declining, so he’ll be looking to steady things from here.

Alright, golf fans—here’s the inside whisper doing the rounds about Evan O’Keeffe: the quiet vibe around the course is that he’s been putting in extra work between holes, but not on the part you’d think—more time on the short-game “save” shots than the full swings. At 18th with 5 points, teammates say he’s dealing with a bit of decision fatigue (club selection, especially), and there’s chatter that a mid-round tweak to his routine is already paying off—just not loudly enough yet for the scoreboard to brag. In other words: don’t be shocked if he starts climbing fast the moment he trusts the process again.

Yooo Evan O'Keeffe… love the double bogey on 6 like it’s some kind of “team-building retreat” for your putter.

You’re +7 through 6 and still fighting the course like it owes you money. 18th place? Incredible hustle. 😂⛳️

#MakeParGreatAgain #EvanWhoKeepsTrying

Evan O'Keeffe just took a double bogey on Hole 6, and you can feel how that affects the pulse of this rivalry. He’s currently down at 18th on the leaderboard with 5 points, and the round trend is declining—a tough swing in a match-up where momentum is everything.

Right now, this rivalry is getting defined by who can keep composure when the back-and-forth gets ugly. O'Keeffe will need to respond quickly—because if he allows his opponent to gain control of the scoring rhythm, the gap can widen fast.

Alright folks, Dan Rapaport on the ground: Brendan Considine is currently perched in the mix at 17th with 6 points, and—between you and me—there’s chatter that he’s been a little too dialed-in on feel this week. Word is he’s been sneaking extra reps on the short stick because the “big” swings haven’t always matched the confidence in his routine, and one particularly tight-lipped caddie swap has everyone watching who’s actually coaching the numbers. Nothing dramatic—just the kind of behind-the-curtain tinkering that turns a steady day into a statement round.

Up to +6 through 6 and somehow still fighting the fairway… respectfully, please stop negotiating with the rough.

Stay in it, King of the Decline—because my liver can’t handle another “improvise, reroute, regret.” 😂⛳️

Rivalry Update: Brendan Considine is starting to feel the heat in this matchup—because every swing right now is a statement.

On Hole 6, Considine landed a double bogey, and you could practically hear the rivalry cresting in the air as his rhythm slipped. He’s currently sitting 17th with 6 total points, and the round trend is declining, meaning the pressure isn’t easing—it’s building.

This rivalry has always been about who can stay composed when the momentum turns. Right now, Considine needs a bounce-back sequence to stop the other player from seizing control of the narrative.

Eoghan Considine just splashed in a birdie on Hole 6 to move himself to 10th with 9 total points, and the round trend is trending down—that’s exactly the kind of momentum that can turn a rivalry into a statement.

In this matchup, the key is simple: Considine is starting to tighten the screws while his rival—who knows every swing thought in this head-to-head—will need to match the aggression. One more sharp conversion like this, and the psychological edge swings firmly toward Considine.
