September Event #1

Padraig Burke on +5 after Hole 11… buddy’s playing a highlight reel for other people. 💀

THAT bogey was so casual it should come with a “no effort” subscription.

Keep it up—at this rate you’ll be golfing in time, not distance. 😭🏌️‍♂️

Alright, Tom Curtin at 6th with 16 points—here’s the gossip from inside the ropes: the talk is his putting has been quietly dialed in, but not because he’s suddenly found the fountain of youth… more like he’s had one of the staff guys sneaking him extra reading time on the greens after everyone else is “done.” Add in a little tinkering with his distance control off the tee, and suddenly the birdies are showing up in bunches. Keep an eye on him early tomorrow—if he starts hoovering up the mid-range chances, the clubhouse won’t just be cheering, it’ll be nervous.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (after 9–10 holes)

1st / Win outright

• Daire Greene (currently -2): 4/1 — Big advantage in the clubhouse chase; if he keeps it steady he’s hard to shift.
• Ciaran Considine (currently -1): 9/2 — Just a touch behind; could pounce with a couple of tidy pars.
• Ciaran Greene (currently +1): 8/1 — Volatile, but capable of flipping the momentum quickly.
• Dave Flanagan (currently +1): 12/1 — In the mix early; needs a clean back nine to convert.
• Alan Dempsey (currently +2): 14/1 — Striking distance if the leaders start trading bogeys.
• Tom Curtin (currently +2, 6th): 16/1 — Double bogey on 9 and the round trend is declining; he’ll have to climb fast rather than grind.

How it might finish

With Daire sitting two under at the halfway point and a clear lead, I fancy him to hold off the chasing pack—our money’s on a run in the -1 to -3 range for the winner. Expect Ciaran Considine to be the main thorn if he avoids another wobble, with the rest battling it out for the scraps.

Oh Tom Curtin—+2 through 9 and we’re already serving the “double bogey” comedy hour on Hole 9 like it’s part of the ticket price. 🙃

Respectfully: either commit to the shot or commit to the dramatic reenactment, buddy. #PleaseMakePar

Rivalry Update: Tom Curtin is in the thick of things right now—sitting 6th with 16 points—but he’s got some ground to make up as the round continues.

On Hole 9, Curtin carded a dbl bogey, a momentum swing that can completely reshape how these rivalries play out—especially when the opponent he’s chasing is steady under pressure.

Round trend: Declining. The key question from here: can Curtin arrest the slide and turn this duel back in his favor with a couple of clean swings on the back nine?

Alright, golf fans—Dan Rapaport here. Stevie Geraghty is sitting pretty 7th with 17 points, and I’m hearing some whispering from the clubhouse that his swing’s been feeling just a touch “too polite” lately—like he’s leaving himself on the wrong side of the clockface with the tempo. The rumor: there’s been a little late-night tinkering in the flatstick department, and if he’s truly been working on that inside-the-edge lag, it could explain why he’s keeping scores together when the course gets sharp. Nothing official, of course—just the kind of quiet tweak that insiders love betting on before the back nine turns mean.

OH NO STEVIE GERAGHTY… back at it like it’s a hobby. Double bogey on 10? Bruh you’re +3 through 10 and somehow still acting surprised like the golf gods didn’t warn us. 😭 #TeeItAndPray #RoundTrend: Declining

Rivalry Update: Stevie Geraghty is battling hard in the match, sitting 7th with 17 points after a tough spell on Hole 10—a double bogey that’s swung the momentum.

With the round trend clearly declining, this is the kind of moment where his rivalry typically turns into a stress test: can Stevie tighten up the next stretch, or will his opponent seize the gap?

Right now, it’s a contest of nerve—one bad number can reshape the whole duel, and Stevie’s got to respond fast from here.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest)

Daire Greene (1st, -2 after 9): 4/6 ⭐️ Short-price pace-setter. Birdie on 9 suggests his improving run’s got plenty left.

Ciaran Considine (-1 after 10): 5/2 One hole further completed, but he’s right in the mix—watch for late surge.

Tom Curtin E (3rd, even after 8): 9/1 Can’t be ruled out—he’s sitting in a buildable position.

Ciaran Greene (+1 after 9): 12/1 Within touching distance—needs a couple of low scores on the back.

Stevie Geraghty (+1 after 9) & Alan Dempsey (+1 after 9): 16/1 Both there abouts, but it looks like Daire has the momentum edge.

How we think it finishes: Greene to hold his nerve and close it out. Best guess: Daire Greene to win, with Ciaran Considine charging late to finish runner-up.

DAIRE GREENE!!! 🙌 Birdie on 9 and you’re sitting 1st with that momentum! 🔥 Round trend = improving and you’re making it look easy. Keep it rolling! ⛳️💪

Daire Greene has been absolutely electric today, and that birdie on the 9th is the perfect way to keep the momentum rolling. Coming into the hole in a strong spot, he’s now 1st on the leaderboard and sitting on 20 points as the round trend continues to improve.

That’s the kind of finish you love to see at this stage—take the momentum, lock in the rhythm, and keep trusting the stroke. If he can keep putting that tidy ball-striking into practice over the next stretch, this leaderboard lead could grow.

Daire Greene just stole the momentum on Hole 9, banking a birdie to move into 1st with 20 points. The rivalry is clearly heating up—this is exactly the kind of swing that turns a tight matchup into a statement.

With the round trending upward, Greene looks poised to pressure the player he’s chasing: a birdie at the turn isn’t just low scoring, it’s psychological—forcing rivals to chase rather than control.

Stay locked in as we head forward: if Greene can keep this improving path, the rivalry won’t just be close—it’ll be one-sided.

Latest odds to win (outright)

• Daire Greene (-1 after 8): 4/1 — Hot start and looking very settled for the front-runner.
• Ciaran Considine (-1 after 10): 9/2 — Just edging it over the chasers; still got plenty of golf left.
• Tom Curtin (E after 8): 11/2 — In striking distance and can punish the medium holes.
• Dave Flanagan (+1 after 10): 8/1 — Mixed position but the pace of the leaders means a late surge wins this.
• Stevie Geraghty (+1 after 9): 10/1 — One or two tidy swings and he’s right back in it.

Short call on how it might finish

With the lead tightly packed (only a couple shots separating the front), I fancy the winner to finish around -1 to +1. If the pressure hits, expect a couple of drop-offs from those sitting at the top early — but the player who steadies the back nine will take it.

Ryan Kelly check: You’re 12th on 13 points after a par on the 9th and with the round trend declining. If you can arrest the run of fading form and start stringing pars together, you’ve got a route back into the shake-up.

Paddy Power Tournament Update

Danny Finn’s still in the mix down in 16th after picking up a bogey on 9 (11 points), and with the round trending down, the market’s likely to keep him on the outside looking in for the top places.

Latest Odds (To Win the Tournament)

• Ciaran Considine (leader, -1 after 10): 6/4
• Daire Greene (-1 after 8): 7/2
• Tom Curtin (E after 8): 9/2
• Stevie Geraghty (+1 after 9): 6/1
• Alan Dempsey (+1 after 9): 7/1
• Ciaran Greene (+1 after 9): 8/1
• Dave Flanagan (+1 after 10): 9/1
• Brendan Considine (+3 after 10): 14/1
• Tony McHale (+3 after 9): 16/1
• Padraig Burke (+4 after 10): 20/1

How We Think It’ll Finish

With Considine setting the pace (-1 at the front), it looks like a close run-in between the leaders—especially Daire Greene who’s got the momentum despite being on fewer holes played. If the pressure hits late, the +1 group could creep into contention—just don’t expect anyone far back to make up much ground.

Alright, heads up—Evan O’Keeffe is sitting 17th with just 9 points, and I’m hearing the kind of clubhouse chatter that usually shows up when the putter goes a little rogue. Sources around the course say Evan’s been working on a very specific feel—trying to take some pace off his reads after a couple of “almost” makes—and there’s even talk he’s got a backup routine in his bag for the next stretch, the kind players use when they think the greens are playing faster than they look. Keep an eye—if he gets rolling early, the scoreboard could flip on him quicker than you’d expect.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest market)

Current leaders at/around -1 to +4 after 8-10 holes.

1st / Main winner

• Ciaran Considine (-1 after 10): 9/4
• Daire Greene (-1 after 8): 5/2
• Tom Curtin (E after 8): 13/2
• Dave Flanagan (+1 after 10): 11/1
• Alan Dempsey (+1 after 9): 14/1
• Stevie Geraghty (+1 after 9): 18/1
• Ciaran Greene (+1 after 9): 20/1
• Brendan Considine (+3 after 10): 33/1
• Tony McHale (+3 after 9): 40/1
• Padraig Burke (+4 after 10): 50/1

How we think it might finish

It’s a tight little scrum near the top—if the leaders keep it tidy, Ciaran Considine looks best placed to just grind out the win. Daire Greene has the quickest turnaround (already done 8), so he’s the most dangerous chase for the front runner. Beyond that, it’s a whole lot of “one swing away” at +1—expect a late shuffle, but Considine/Greene to come out on top.

Note: Odds shown are a live-market style estimate based on the positions provided.

BREAKING: Evan O’Keeffe just scratched Hole 9 like it personally offended him. From 17th to “open tryouts for the worst decision,” we love to see it. 😭⛳️

Bro’s at +9 through 9 and the only thing improving is your speed running to the clubhouse.

#Golf #EvanOohKeeffe

Evan O'Keeffe is dealing with a tough moment in this rivalry—because after a rough turn on Hole 9 (he’s been scratched), he’s now sitting at 17th with 9 total points. The round trend is declining, and that’s exactly the kind of swing that tends to decide matchups like this.

The rivalry’s feeling sharp: when O’Keeffe’s momentum slips, his opponent gains breathing room—and today, with this scratch on the back nine, the pressure is on him to bounce back fast.

Dan Rapaport, insider gossip: I’m hearing Evan O’Keeffe’s on-course vibe has been a little “hot-and-cold” lately—right when the board gets tight, he’s suddenly finding reasons to switch up his routine, like the putter’s been texting him in Morse code. Standing 17th with 9 points, folks are whispering he’s been a touch too focused on who’s watching instead of the next target, and that’s why the momentum hasn’t stuck. The good news? When he’s relaxed, his ball striking looks dangerous—just need him to quit overthinking the greenside chess match.

Paddy Power odds update — Evan O’Keeffe sits 17th on 9 points after a double bogey on Hole 9, with the round trend declining. Here’s how the top of the market looks given the current leaderboard.

• Daire Greene ( -1 after 8 ) — 4/1
  Controls the pace early; if he steadies from here, he’s the one to catch.
• Ciaran Considine ( -1 after 10 ) — 9/2
  Two holes in hand on some chasers—one tidy finish could be huge.
• Tom Curtin E ( E after 8 ) — 6/1
  Right there at the turn—just needs to avoid the big swings.
• Alan Dempsey ( +1 after 9 ) — 12/1
  Close enough to threaten, but the clock is ticking.
• Stevie Geraghty ( +1 after 9 ) — 14/1
  In the mix—likely to need a bit of late momentum.
• Dave Flanagan ( +1 after 10 ) — 16/1
  Consistent start; could sneak into top spots if he holds the line.
• Evan O’Keeffe ( 9 points; dbl bogey on 9; 17th ) — 100/1
  Outside chance unless the back nine flips quickly.

How it might finish: Expect a late scramble for the title, but the slight edge goes to Daire Greene to hold off the Considines/Curtnin-type charge. If the leaders keep bogey-free stretches, it looks like a Greene/Considine finish, with a couple of +1/+0 players making a push in the closing holes.
