Rivalry Update: Stevie Geraghty is battling hard in this round, and the momentum check at Hole 15 was a tough one—he’s logged a scratched effort there while sitting in 16th with 16 total points.

With the round trend declining, this rivalry dynamic is getting sharper: it’s the kind of moment where the chasing opponent (and the crowd of expectations) wants to pounce—yet Stevie’s still got the chance to flip the script with a strong finish from here.

Stay tuned: the next few holes will decide whether this turns into a rivalry-shaping comeback or another swing that keeps slipping away.

Alright, golf fans, this is Dan Rapaport whispering from the ropes: Stevie Geraghty is sitting in 16th with 16 total points, and word is he’s been sneaking extra work into his putting—like, the kind of late-day routine that only shows up when someone’s suddenly realized they’re losing strokes at the wrong end. The rumor in the clubhouse is he’s tweaking his read with a quicker nod at the grain, and if it’s true, he’s got a real chance to make a move before the leaderboard stops watching. Keep an eye on whether he starts holing more medium putts—because that’s where the momentum swings fast.

Bookie’s banter: Dempsey and Burke look like the two blokes who’ve steadied the ship at the business end—if they can dodge the wobble from here, they’re your best bets. O’Malley is hanging right on the edge and could make a move if the leaders start trading bogeys. With your man Stevie Geraghty scratching at 15 and sitting 16th on 16 points, it’ll take a bit of late magic—chalk it up as “needs a charge,” not “in the finish.”

How I think it finishes: Dempsey or Burke to hold on, with O’Malley just behind.

Stevie Geraghty out here playing “SCRATCHED FOR DRAMA” on Hole 15 like it’s a theme night. 😬

Up to +14 and somehow still walking like he’s got a strategy. Buddy, the only thing trending is your disappointment—declining faster than my patience! 💀⛳️

See you in 16th, Stevie… where hope goes to die.

Rivalry Update: Stevie Geraghty is trying to keep momentum in this showdown—after a tough moment on Hole 15 where he was marked scratched, his charge drops to 16th with 16 total points.

With the round trend declining, this is exactly the kind of swing that can let a rival gain control: one mistake can flip the pressure, and on this back-to-mid stretch, the scoreboard talks loudly.

Key moment coming: the next holes will decide whether Stevie can claw back momentum—or whether his rival’s consistency takes over the rivalry narrative.

Alrighto, last two holes and it’s been a real mixed bag out there. Daire Greene has held his line with bogey-bogey at holes 15 and 16, keeping himself at +13—not the cleanest rhythm, but still managing the damage. Eoghan Considine, though, has taken the hit with double bogey back-to-back, slipping further to sit at +6 after those two. Brendan Considine had the eyebrow-raiser: he started with a scratch at 15, then came roaring back with a birdie at 16—so he stays anchored on +16 overall, but that turnaround is going to be a big confidence boost. And Evan O'Keeffe was steady at hole 15 with par, before a bogey at 16 nudged him to +18. Plenty still to play for, and the next stretch will tell us who’s got the guts to bounce back.

Oi Daire Greene—you’ve gone +13 through 16 and still looking like the ball’s on airplane mode ✈️. Bogey on 16? Mate, you’re playing golf like it’s a group project—everyone’s doing the work except you. 😭⛳️

Alright, golf fans—insider Dan Rapaport here, and I’m hearing Eoghan Considine has been turning heads at 8th with 26 points… not just with his ball striking. Word is he’s been quietly working a “too-close-to-call” grind on the greens with his putting coach—lots of tempo drills and those maddening little speed checks—because the whisper around the ropes is that his confidence spikes when he’s ahead of schedule on read times. Apparently, last week’s practice round went sideways (in the funniest way) when he started calling his breaks like a weatherman—then immediately drained a couple under pressure, and now everyone’s trying to figure out what he’s unlocked.

HOLY DOUBLE BOGEY on 16, Eoghan Considine… I’ve seen more polish on a beginner’s putter in a parking lot. 😭⛳️ On to more drama—you’re +6 and somehow still making it look personal! Can we get a birdie, or at least stop handing them freebies?

Eoghan Considine just hit a double bogey on Hole 16, and that swing has the rivalry moment feeling loud again.

With him sitting in 8th and 26 total points, this is a stretch where his opponent will smell vulnerability—especially with the round trend still declining. The head-to-head battle shifts from “who’s controlling the pace?” to “who can arrest the slide first?”

Right now, Considine’s challenge is simple: limit the damage from here, because in this rivalry, one rough finish turns into a full momentum flip.

EVAN O’KEEFFE on +18 through 16 and still acting like he’s “finding something” 😂 Hole 16 bogey—bro’s swing went out for milk and never came back. See you at Q-school, legend.

Rivalry Update: Brendan Considine is starting to turn the screws in this head-to-head—he just drained a birdie on Hole 16 and has climbed into 17th while holding 16 total points.

And the key word right now is momentum. With the round trend declining, that’s the kind of swing that can put real pressure on the rival player in this matchup—because suddenly every next shot looks like it could be a separator.

Considine’s message is clear: make the rival chase, then reward precision when it matters most—especially on the back end.

Alright folks, last two holes and it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster out there. Padraig Burke steadied the ship nicely—he bogeyed the 14th, then came roaring back with an eagle on 15, keeping things right in the mix overall. Alan Dempsey also played it fairly tough: he found par on 14 but couldn’t quite hold it, carding a bogey on 15. Meanwhile Paul O’Donnell and Tony McHale have both copped back-to-back bogeys—Paul at +6 and Tony at +9—and they’ll be looking to turn that momentum around quickly on the next run.

Paddy Power Tourney Odds (Latest)

1 Padraig Burke — 1/2 to win (E after 15). Leading and looking solid, just needs to see it out.

2 Alan Dempsey — 2/1 (E after 15). Right there at the top and capable of a late shuffle.

3 Oisin O’Malley — 5/1 (+1 after 14). Stays in contention with momentum—one good swing can flip this.

4 Ryan Kelly — 8/1 (+2 after 17). Needs steady golf from here to convert the position.

5 Ciaran Considine — 10/1 (+3 after 18). Closing out strong—if others slip, he’s right in the mix.

Outsiders

Tony McHale — 33/1 (+9 after 15). Bogey at 15 and a declining round trend makes the climb tougher—he’ll need a miracle back-nine to win, but could still hang around for a top-10 run.

How it might finish: Looks like a two-horse job between Burke and Dempsey, with O’Malley and Kelly lurking. I’d expect Burke to hold on for the win, with Dempsey the main thorn in the side.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (Latest)

With Alan Dempsey currently 1st on -E after 15, here’s how the market looks for the finish:

• Padraig Burke (E after 15) — 6/4
• Alan Dempsey (E after 15) — 9/4
• Oisin O'Malley (+1 after 14) — 4/1
• Ryan Kelly (+2 after 17) — 6/1
• Ciaran Considine (+3 after 18) — 10/1
• Phil Staunton (+4 after 14) — 14/1

Race to the finish: Dempsey’s still in the driving seat, but he’s just picked up a bogey on 15 and his round trend is declining. I’d expect him to still be in the shake-up, but Bukre looks marginally steadier to see it through—especially if the next holes don’t punish him.

How it might finish: Tight at the top—could come down to who gets the fewest slip-ups over the closing stretch. My pick: Padraig Burke to get there, with Dempsey the main challenger.

Oh Alan Dempsey, back for Hole 15 with a bogey like it’s a recurring subscription. 💸

You’re 2nd on 30 points but that round trend says “decline & repeat.” 🤡

Go on, swing harder—maybe the scoreboard will fall off the cart. 🏌️‍♂️😤

And there we go at Hole 15—Alan Dempsey goes for the green and comes away with a bogey. Not the tidy stroke you’d want, but he’s still moving smartly in the bigger picture.

He remains in the 2nd spot with 30 points on the board, and the round trend is heading the right way—declining—so you feel like this is setting up a strong finish from here.

E for effort, and now it’s about tightening the screws on the remaining holes.

Paddy Power Tourney Update:

Paul O’Donnell (currently 8th, +6) after a bogey on 15 is drifting a bit with the round trend declining, so we’re keeping the win prices juicy—he’ll need a late spike.

Latest Tournament Odds (to win):

• Alan Dempsey — 2/1
• Padraig Burke — 9/4
• Oisin O’Malley — 7/2
• Ryan Kelly — 8/1
• Ciaran Considine — 12/1
• Phil Staunton — 14/1
• Eoghan Considine — 16/1
• Paul O’Donnell — 40/1
• Kevin Coen — 60/1
• Tony McHale — 70/1

How it might finish: With Dempsey leading at -1 and Burke right on the heels, it looks like a straight shootout for the win. O’Malley has the momentum to pressure the top two, while the Considines/Staunton are in the mix if the front-runners start giving shots away late.

Paul O’Donnell out here turning +6 into his personal brand—bogey on 15, because apparently we don’t believe in miracles, we believe in comedy. 😭⛳️

Come on, Paul—hit one shot that doesn’t sound like it filed a complaint with the USGA. #RoundTripToDismay

Alright, Padraig Burke—this is the kind of swing that makes you want to fist-bump your own bag. He’s staying balanced, moving through impact with real rhythm, and you can see the ball flight getting those clean, confident starts. For a guy sitting 2nd with 30 points, he’s playing like he’s got a plan on every single shot, and the strike is doing the talking. That’s vintage “let it rip—just don’t lose the match” energy.
