June Event

Oi Evan O'Keeffe… you just carded par on 15 like it’s some kind of miracle. Meanwhile you’re sitting +17 and the leaderboard’s probably yelling your name like “NOT YOU AGAIN.”

17th place with 13 points—round trend’s declining? Yeah, buddy, we can see that too from the parking lot.

#GolfFace #PlotTwist #KeepTryingBud

Alright folks, Brendan Considine at 18th with 13 points—and here’s the chatter from the ropes: he’s been spotted swapping notes with a couple of clubmates on the range, not about distance, but about feel. Word is his short-game has been a little too “perfect” in practice, so he’s trying to deliberately rough up the tempo—especially on those pressure chips where the ball’s got to come out soft, not flashy. Nothing official, of course, but if he starts rolling them even half a step cleaner today, everyone’s going to pretend they saw it coming.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest market)

1/ Alan Dempsey (currently -1): 3/1 — Looks calm at the top and has the best cushion heading into the closing stretch.

2/ Oisin O'Malley (currently E): 5/2 — One slip could swing it, but he’s right there and capable of a late push.

3/ Ryan Kelly (currently +2): 7/1 — Needs a bit of fortune, but if the front-runners wobble he’s in the mix.

4/ Padraig Burke (currently +2): 9/1 — Solid position; just has to convert chances quickly from here.

5/ Eoghan Considine (currently +2): 12/1 — In the group that can surge, but consistency will be the key.

How I think it finishes: With Dempsey holding top spot at -1, I’m leaning towards an Alan Dempsey win, with Oisin O’Malley the likeliest challenger if he can keep the pressure on through the last holes.

Note: Brendan Considine has just gone scratched on Hole 15 and sits 17th on 13 points with a declining trend—big mountain to climb for him from here.

Brendan Considine just SCRATCHED on 15 like the course personally insulted him 😭

Down bad at +17 and somehow still sitting 17th… my guy, swing harder or just start doing magic tricks with that scorecard ✨🪄

Rivalry update: Brendan Considine is in the thick of the contest on the back nine, but things took a sharp turn on Hole 15 where he was scratched. That swing has him sitting 17th with 13 points, and the round trend is declining.

This is exactly the kind of momentum-shift that can decide a rivalry—one bad break, and the opponent who’s steady behind the ball starts to pile on the pressure hole by hole. Considine will need a quick reset to stop the slide and get back into contention in the final stretch.

Well, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag out there over the last two holes. Padraig Burke couldn’t quite get the momentum going, back-to-back bogeys at 13 and 14, holding steady at +2 through this stretch. Alan Dempsey had the stumble early with a double bogey at 13, but he steadied himself brilliantly with a par at 14—so despite the wobble, he’s sitting at -1 after it all. Over with Paul O’Donnell, it was bogey-bogey as well, and he remains in tough shape at +5. And Tony McHale, he’s not really finding the rhythm—par at 13 followed by a bogey at 14, and he’s still stranded at +8. There’s work to be done, especially for the guys chasing momentum—those next holes will be crucial.

Alan Dempsey makes it look easy on Hole 14—he finds the target with par, and with it he keeps that momentum rolling.

He’s sitting pretty in 1st place with 29 total points, and the round trend stays on the way down—that’s a great sign as the back end approaches.

Oi Ciaran Greene, mate—three straight “almost” moments on the back nine and you finish with a bogey on 18 like it’s a lifestyle choice. 😭

Up to 13th with +10? That’s not a round, that’s a slow-motion car crash with a 7-iron.

Oi Mike Rockall… up to +13 through 13 and you’re still acting like this is a warm-up. 📣 Hole 13 played par? Congrats on finally finding the “forwards” button. Keep it coming, champ—your declining trend is the only thing moving downhill faster than your ball.

Hole 13 — Birdie! Oisin O’Malley comes in off the back of a strong swing and finds the green in regulation, then rolls in a neat one to move 2nd in the clubhouse mix. With 26 points on the card and that declining round trend, he’s really starting to press—this is the kind of momentum you can feel.

Keep your eyes on the next few holes now. If he can stay patient and give himself those looks, he’s got every chance to hang around at the very top.

Rivalry update: Oisin O’Malley is heating up in the head-to-head chase—he just rolled in a birdie on Hole 13 to move through the pack with real authority. Sitting in 2nd with 26 points, his round trend is declining, which usually means the pressure is mounting on the rival.

In this matchup, O’Malley’s edge has been consistency under stress: when the rivalry tightens, he finds ways to keep momentum—like that birdie on 13—without getting pulled off his line.

With the leaderboard so close, the next stretch will decide whether his rival can respond immediately, or whether O’Malley’s current form turns this into a statement finish.

STEVEIE GERAGHTY at +12 on hole 13… congrats on the bogey, I guess that’s your special feature: “where’d the ball go?” 😭

You’re 15th with 14 points and the round trend is declining—buddy, that graph looks like it needs a seatbelt.

#Golf #StevieWho #HoldItTogether

Oh Daire Greene, sitting pretty like it’s a spa day… just casually adding a bogey on 14. You’re +11 and somehow still doing the “I totally meant to do that” walk 😂

Keep it up—at this pace you’ll finish before the leaderboard even loads. #GolfTherapy

Oi Eoghan Considine… birds on 14, sure 😏 But you’re still +2 through 14 like the course is personal beef. Keep that “round trend” declining, mate—my optimism’s hanging by a sand wedge. 🐦⛳️

Eoghan Considine just sparked his rivalry with another key contender at Hole 14, drilling a birdie to move into 4th place on 26 points.

And that’s the storyline in this matchup: when the battle tightens, Considine keeps finding momentum—his round trend is still declining, and right now that suggests he’s not backing off pressure, he’s absorbing it.

With another chunk of holes to come, this rivalry could swing fast if he keeps turning chances into strokes gained late.

Alright, here’s the campfire whisper from the range: Evan O’Keeffe is sitting on 11 total points in 18th, and the chatter is that he’s been tinkering with his pre-shot routine more than his swing—tightening everything up like a guy who can’t afford one loose thought on the back nine. Word is his driver setup’s been getting a once-over with the staff between holes, and if you listen close you’ll hear he’s blaming a couple of “confidence gaps” rather than mechanics. Insider take: if he starts trusting the first read instead of second-guessing, he could climb fast—because right now his game has the look of something that’s just waiting to click.

Oh Evan O'Keeffe… “scratched” on 14 like the greens personally asked you to stop. 😭

You’re 18th, still at +17, and your “round trend” is doing the opposite of a slope—straight downhill. Someone check if your clubs are signed up for the wrong tournament!

Evan O’Keeffe just got it tricky on Hole 14, putting a scratched mark on the board—right at the time this rivalry was starting to heat up. He’s currently 18th with 11 total points, and the round trend is declining, which is exactly the kind of opening that his rivals love to exploit.

The momentum in this head-to-head matchup swings on moments like this: one slip can turn a tight chase into a chase from behind. If O’Keeffe can stabilize immediately after the scratch, he’ll have a chance to reassert himself—but right now, the rivalry’s feeling like it’s leaning away from him.

Brendan Considine at +15 on 14… and you call it “par”? 😂 Buddy, that’s not golf, that’s interpretive suffering. Last 5-ish vibes: declining like my faith in club fitting. @BrendanConsidine, just hit the ball, not my sanity!

Dan Rapaport here—I’m hearing Ryan Kelly’s in that familiar “too close to the top” zone where nerves meet confidence head-on. After landing 4th with 30 points, the buzz isn’t about his swing so much as his pre-shot routine: a couple of guys in the camp say he’s been quietly switching targets on the fly, like he’s got a private read on the greens that changes hole-by-hole. Word is he’s also trying to keep one particular wedge sequence super consistent—because if he gets that timing back, he’s the kind of player who can climb fast when everyone else starts pressing.
