June Event

Mike Rockall is still battling in the thick of this rivalry, and after a double bogey on Hole 12, his momentum has taken a hit.

He’s sitting 16th with 11 total points, and the round trend is declining—exactly the kind of swing that rivalries thrive on. When Rockall slips, his opponent’s pressure tends to ratchet up fast, turning every next fairway into a chance to seize the storyline.

Next holes will tell the tale: can Rockall arrest the decline and reassert himself, or will this rivalry momentum keep tilting against him?

Alright, golf fans, here’s your little clubhouse whisper about Daire Greene: the buzz on the range is that Greene’s been working overtime on his short-game “panic switch”—the kind you need when you’re staring at tricky lies and the putter starts thinking for everyone else. He’s sitting 14th with 16 points, and insiders say the swing looks fine, but it’s the greenside pace that’s been giving him heartburn; not enough to derail him, just enough to make him mutter at his own line like it owes him money. In other words: the talent’s there—this is more “tuning” than “trouble,” and you might see him jump up the board if he stops leaving a few too many birdie chances an inch short.

Oh Daire Greene… +10 through 13 and we’re living the double-bogey lifestyle. 🥲 Hole 13 was a complete “accidentally found the sand trap” masterpiece. At this rate, your swing needs a map. 🗺️⛳️

Rivalry Update: Daire Greene is still pressing in the head-to-head storyline today—after a tough moment on Hole 13 that came in as a double bogey, he’s currently sitting 14th with 16 points.

The key theme in this rivalry remains consistency under pressure: when Greene’s rival forces the pace, Greene’s momentum wobbles—at least that’s what we saw at 13. But with the round trend currently declining, this is a chance for Greene to respond quickly and flip the script on the rivalry narrative.

Alright—inside whisper time: Eoghan Considine is sitting 6th at 23 points, and word in the ropes has it his whole turnaround isn’t just the putter—it’s the way he’s managing the pressure. Apparently he’s been quietly leaning on a tighter pre-shot routine (same stance, same tempo) because one bad bounce early in the week rattled him, and now he’s determined not to give away shots cheap. Even better? Teammates say he’s been arguing—politely—with his caddie about club selection on the back nine, and if that debate keeps landing, he’s got a real shot at moving up fast.

Oi Eoghan Considine, “scratched” on 13… mate even your ball can’t stand the pressure! 😭

You’re currently +3 through 13 and somehow still 6th—that’s not golf, that’s community service for the course!

Keep it together, yeah? Or just start teeing off with excuses. 🏌️‍♂️💀

Eoghan Considine just landed a scratched on Hole 13, and it’s a moment that can swing the momentum in a rivalry battle.

Right now, he’s sitting 6th with 23 points, while the round trend is declining—and that’s where this matchup gets personal. When Considine starts to slip, his rival tends to pounce, turning missed opportunities into separating birdie swings.

Can he steady the ship after the scratch and get the score back moving in his favor, or will the other player keep tightening the rivalry grip?

Dan Rapaport here—and I’m hearing a little buzz around Evan O'Keeffe: he’s sitting 18th with 11 points, but sources in the ropes say he’s been tinkering with something subtle in his setup—more feel in the lower body, less “trying” through impact. The word is he’s not panicking at all; he’s actually treating this as a grind-and-find-momentum situation, and if his putter wakes up for a couple stretches, he could quietly climb fast. No flashy drama, just that quiet insider vibe: the kind that comes before a run.

🚨Evan O’Keeffe on pace for another masterpiece: double bogey at 13… because who needs progress when you can just commit to chaos? 🔥

Down the stretch to +15 through 13 and still not done digging! Keep fighting, champ—at this point I’m rooting for you to invent a new golf stat: “regret per swing”. 😤⛳️

Evan O'Keeffe is starting to feel the pressure of the rivalry as he navigates Hole 13 with a double bogey. Right now he sits in 18th with 11 points, and the round trend is declining—a tough swing when your opponent is watching for every opening.

From here, this rivalry narrative turns on recovery: can O'Keeffe steady the ship over the back stretch and start flipping the momentum back in his favor?

Dan Rapaport here, and I’m hearing Ryan Kelly is getting that “second-place pressure” look—like he’s one tidy tee shot away from getting dangerous, but the clubhouse buzz is that his driver practice has been weirdly inconsistent. A couple of insiders say he’s been favoring a brand-new launch angle setup on the range, then second-guessing it the moment he’s in the fairway, which is why he’s been slipping just enough to hover in 2nd with 30 points. Nothing dramatic—more like a guy trying to outsmart his own swing, one swing at a time… and the field is watching.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (Latest)

• Alan Dempsey: 13/8 — Tidy three-under and looks solid when it matters.
• Ryan Kelly: 5/2 — Up in second but the declining trend is a bit of a worry after that double-bogey on 15.
• Oisin O'Malley: 7/1 — Level par and lurking; could make a late move.
• Padraig Burke: 9/1 — Stayed in the mix; just needs a spark to start chipping away.
• Eoghan Considine: 11/1 — Plus one, but no one is pulling away far enough to rule him out.
• Paul O’Donnell: 14/1 — Four back-and-forth holes needed—still capable if he finds a run.

How I think it might finish

Dempsey to hang on for a narrow win. Kelly has the talent to push him, but that double-bogey makes me think a second-place type finish is the more likely outcome if the round trend doesn’t recover.

Ryan Kelly really said “I’m going for glory”… and by glory he meant the dbl bogey on 15. 😭👏

Up to 2nd and 30 points, sure—just keep donating strokes like it’s free refills at the clubhouse. 🌟⛳

And here at Hole 15, Ryan Kelly goes and picks up the double bogey—that’s a tough bump in the road. One little moment can snowball, and suddenly the rhythm’s gone. Still though, he’s in second, and with 30 points in the bag, the pressure’s on everyone else to respond.

It’s a dip in the trend—he’s been moving the wrong way—but this is the stage where you have to reset, keep it simple, and just play for the score that gets you back in control.

Come on, Ryan—steady yourself for the next one.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly is doing battle up front again, sitting 2nd with 30 points after a tough spell on Hole 15—a double bogey that briefly threatened to flip the momentum.

Still, the round trend is declining, meaning his late-round resilience is being tested—and that’s exactly where rivalries get decided. If Kelly can rebound cleanly from this setback, he’ll force his counterpart to defend under pressure instead of running away with the lead.

Brendan Considine on +15 and still acting like that bogey on 13 was “part of the plan.” Buddy, the only thing declining faster than your round is my confidence—grab the 2-iron and a new personality 😭⛳️ #GolfFail #JustSendIt

Paddy Power – Latest Tournament Odds

With Danny Finn sitting 9th on +6 after 15 and a declining round trend, he’s chasing it late on.

Top of the leaderboard (current)

• Alan Dempsey (-3 after 12) — 11/4 to win
• Ryan Kelly (-2 after 14) — 15/4 to win
• Oisin O'Malley (E after 11) — 7/2 to win
• Padraig Burke (E after 12) — 8/1 to win
• Eoghan Considine (+1 after 12) — 10/1 to win

Where I think it finishes

Looks like a tight scramble behind Dempsey and Kelly. If they keep it together from here, I fancy Dempsey to hang on—but with so many still around the cut-off markers, it could easily swing. My pick: Alan Dempsey to win, with Ryan Kelly close behind.

Danny Finn outlook

Danny’s got ground to make with only a handful left—expect him to need a couple of low scores to climb into the mix. At the moment, he’s more survival mode than title charge.

Dan Rapaport here—and I’m hearing Liam Rockall (currently 14th on 21 points) has been getting a little “extra” help on the range. Word is a certain teammate-turned-swing-hacker has been hovering near his bag at practice, quietly adjusting the way Liam is setting his feet before he goes after the ball—nothing flashy, just those tiny stance tweaks that suddenly make the strike feel free. If Rockall keeps that momentum, this leaderboard isn’t where the story ends… it’s where the comeback plot starts.

Paddy Power latest tournament odds (Liam Rockall at 14th, 21 pts; round form declining):

1/ Alan Dempsey (to win): 6/4
A tidy start at -3 after 12—he looks set up to squeeze through the pressure spots.

2/ Ryan Kelly (to win): 11/4
Holds second at -2 after 14 and should have the momentum to climb if he keeps it on the fairway.

3/ Padraig Burke E (to win): 7/2
Even par after 12 but the position is dangerous—one low run could flip it fast.

4/ Oisin O'Malley (to win): 9/1
Back at E after 11—needs a late surge, but the leaderboard says he’s capable.

5/ Eoghan Considine (to win): 14/1
On +1 after 12; uphill task, though you can’t count him out late.

How it might finish: If Dempsey protects the lead, I fancy him to nick it. Kelly is the main danger, with Burke lurking for the final-round charge. Liam Rockall will likely need a couple of smart swings to stop that drop turning into a slide.

Oi Liam Rockall… welcome back to the “double-bogey bingo” tour! 😭🏌️‍♂️ Hole 15 and you still couldn’t find the fairway if it was wearing a neon sign. Now you’re +9 and still strolling like it’s a scenic walk. Stay humble, king—maybe the course will bully you less next hole. 😤
