September Event #1

OH Eoghan Considine, on +10 and still acting like we’re watching a “close match” documentary. 📺

Bogey on 16… mate, that ball’s got more speed heading to the rough than your confidence to the green. 🫣⛳️

16th place? At this rate you’ll finish the round by using your driver as a microphone to call your caddy. 😭

Come on! Give us one heroic swing before the rest of the leaderboard starts filing for early retirement.

Ciaran Considine steps onto sixteen and brings it home at par—steady hands, that’s the story. He’s currently sitting 2nd on 31 points, and the round trend is declining, which is exactly what you want as the pressure tightens.

This is smart golf: no drama, just a clean, measured finish to a hole that can often tempt you into something silly. If he can keep this sort of control through the closing stretch, he’ll be right in the mix.

Alright, last couple of holes and it’s been a bit of a mixed bag in this group. Dave Flanagan steadied the ship—he went birdie on the fourteenth to keep things ticking over, then after a bogey on fifteen he’s sitting at +1 overall. Brendan Considine was right there for a moment with par on fourteen, but the wheels wobbled on fifteen with a double bogey, so he’s still perched at +3. Over on that bottom end, Mike Rockall couldn’t get going—double bogey on fourteen, then back to par on fifteen, leaving him at +5. And Liam Rockall is under the pump: bogey on fourteen followed by another bogey on fifteen, meaning he’s up to +10. Plenty of work to do, but there’s still time to claw it back as we head into what comes next.

Alright, I’m hearing a little something around the ropes about Brendan Considine: despite sitting up 6th with 27 points, he’s been quietly tinkering with his setup—more specifically, a touchier-than-usual pre-shot routine that the guys in his group swear has him “fidgeting for five seconds” right before he commits. The rumor is it’s not nerves, it’s a new trigger he’s trying to lock in (tempo over mechanics), and if it sticks, watch out—because the way he’s been bouncing back from tight lies, it feels like that extra ritual is already paying dividends.

🏌️‍♂️ Paddy Power Golf Update

With Brendan Considine currently 6th on +3 after 15 holes (round trend: declining), here’s how the markets look right now...

Latest tournament odds (outright)

• Daire Greene 2/1 (currently -3 after 13)
• Ciaran Considine 9/2 (currently +1 after 15)
• Dave Flanagan 10/1 (currently +1 after 15)
• Alan Dempsey 16/1 (currently +2 after 13)
• Ciaran Greene 20/1 (currently +3 after 14)
• Brendan Considine 25/1 (currently +3 after 15)
• Tony McHale 33/1 (currently +4 after 13)
• Padraig Burke 33/1 (currently +4 after 15)
• Stevie Geraghty 40/1 (currently +4 after 13)
• Ryan Kelly 40/1 (currently +4 after 13)

How it might finish

That Daire Greene lead is the big talking point—he’s sitting on a score cushion and looks best placed to close. Brendan Considine has some work to do after a double bogey on 15, and with the declining trend it looks a bit of a stretch to lift the trophy—more realistic is a strong scramble up the board rather than outright glory.

Prediction: Daire Greene to hold on, with Ciaran Considine and Dave Flanagan the main threats for the runner-up spots.

Oh Brendan Considine… you’re fighting the course so hard I’m getting cardio just watching. 😭 Double bogey on 15?? Buddy, that’s not “grit,” that’s gravity. You were coasting and now you’re somehow +3 through 15 like it’s a lifestyle choice. #GolfFaceplant

Rivalry Update: Brendan Considine is battling in the kind of matchup where momentum swings matter—and right now, the swing has been Brendans for the taking… and then taking back.

On Hole 15, Considine dropped a double bogey, and you can feel the rivalry tension ramp up as that slip pushes him down in the hunt—he’s currently 6th with 27 points.

But the bigger storyline is the Round Trend: Declining. In a rivalry like this, the player who responds after a hit like that is the one who turns pressure into scoring—and Considine still has plenty of time to flip the script.

⚡ Paddy Power Tourney Update (as of latest leaderboard)

Liam Rockall (currently 16th, +? to par implied, 20 pts) — Last time out: Bogey on 15, form: declining. Needs to steady the ship from here.

Latest Paddy Power Odds to Win

• Daire Greene — 4/1
• Ciaran Considine — 9/2
• Brendan Considine — 10/1
• Dave Flanagan — 12/1
• Alan Dempsey — 14/1
• Ciaran Greene — 18/1

How it might finish

Greene looks the most dangerous at the top and can hold on for a narrow win. The Considines are closest to the mix, and if Daire’s lead compresses late, you could easily see a late push from Ciaran Considine or Brendan. For Liam Rockall, with the trend down, he’ll likely be fighting for a mid-table finish unless the back nine turns.

🔮 Paddy Power Prediction: Daire Greene to edge it; Considine in the shake-up.

Paddy Power Golf — Latest Tournament Odds

To win the tournament:

• Daire Greene — 7/4 (currently -3 after 13)
• Brendan Considine — 9/2 (currently +1 after 14)
• Ciaran Considine — 9/2 (currently +1 after 15)
• Dave Flanagan — 11/1 (currently +1 after 15; made bogey on the 15th and is in 4th)
• Alan Dempsey — 14/1 (currently +2 after 13)

How we reckon it’ll finish: Daire Greene looks to have the cushion, and with others still doing the chasing, you’d back him to hold the nerve. The Considines are the most live threats, but Dave Flanagan will need to turn that declining round trend back up—one or two swings of momentum from here could lift him, though it’s a long road from 4th.

Paddy Power Latest Odds (Mike Rockall currently 11th, 25 pts — after finishing Hole 15 on par)

• Daire Greene (-3 after 13) — 2/1
• Dave Flanagan (E after 14) — 9/2
• Brendan Considine (+1 after 14) — 7/1
• Ciaran Considine (+1 after 15) — 10/1
• Alan Dempsey (+2 after 13) — 14/1
• Ciaran Greene (+3 after 14) — 18/1
• Ryan Kelly (+4 after 13) — 25/1
• Stevie Geraghty (+4 after 13) — 25/1
• Padraig Burke (+4 after 15) — 28/1
• Tony McHale (+4 after 13) — 28/1

Commentary: Daire Greene looks like the class act at the moment, and with a -3 lead already, he’s the one we’d back to hold on. Flanagan’s hanging right in there, but if the chasing pack can’t start turning bogeys into birdies soon, it’s likely to be a Daire Greene to edge it, with Dave Flanagan the most likely runner-up. As for Mike Rockall, par at 15 is steady, but with your round trend flagged as declining, you’ll need a couple of sharp bursts to climb up the card late doors.

Likely finish: Greene first, Flanagan second, Considine/Considine fighting for the minor places.

Well, the leaderboard’s held its nerve—Daire Greene remains clear at -3 after 13, and that one-step push still puts the pressure right where you want it: on the chasing group. Dave Flanagan is steady at E after 14, while Brendan Considine and Ciaran Considine are both at +1—Brendan after 14, Ciaran after 15. That’s a tidy bit of work by Ciaran, but it also means no one’s running away; the leaders are being asked to keep defending hole by hole.

Behind them, the pack’s still bunched at +2 to +4. Alan Dempsey is +2 after 13, and Ciaran Greene has climbed to +3 after 14. The pressure points are Tony McHale, Stevie Geraghty and Ryan Kelly—all now at +4 after 13—with Padraig Burke also at +4 after 15. When you’ve got three men sitting together at the same number and another hovering one or two holes behind, the last stretch becomes a battle of who makes the fewest mistakes under the lights.

And there we have it—Daire Greene just comes through Hole 13 in par, keeping the momentum firmly onside.

He’s still perched in 1st place, sitting on 29 points, and the round trend is unmistakably improving. You can feel the calm confidence building now—this is the kind of steadiness that lets a player go on and squeeze the gaps.

Hole 13 done, pressure mounting, and Daire’s doing exactly what top leaders do: staying solid and shaping the finish.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly just switched gears on Hole 13, knocking in a birdie to land in 7th with 22 points. The momentum matters—because in this matchup, those quick momentum grabs are how Kelly swings the psychological edge.

Round trend: declining—and right now, that means Kelly is doing just enough to keep pressure on his rival, tightening the margin hole-by-hole instead of letting the contest drift away.

Dan Rapaport here—and I’ll tell you what I’m hearing about Tom Curtin: sitting 14th with 20 points, there’s a little buzz in the ropes that he’s been tinkering with a more “stiff-and-straight” ball flight to tame the left side—nothing dramatic, just a couple late-week tweaks that had a few players side-eyeing his practice swing like it was a magic trick. Word is he’s unusually locked in around his middle-iron distances, but the whisper is the real test might be whether that new feel holds when the pressure spikes on the back nine. Stay tuned—because if Curtin’s putting starts cooperating, this leaderboard can flip fast.

Oh Tom Curtin… throwing a double bogey on 13 like it’s a free giveaway. Buddy you’re +6 through 13 and somehow still surprised the ball doesn’t respect your vibes. Declining trend? Yeah, so is my faith. 😭⛳

Rivalry update: Tom Curtin is really fighting against the tide of the matchup right now—after a double bogey on Hole 13, his momentum has slipped, and he’s currently sitting 14th with 20 points.

This swing matters in the rivalry: one bad stretch can change who’s pressuring whom, and with the round declining, Curtin’s rivals will smell blood in the closing holes.

Stay tuned—Curtin needs a quick recovery to turn the rivalry back in his favor.

And that’s a real reshuffle. Daire Greene is still the man out in front at -3 after 12, but behind him the whole story is movement and momentum. Dave Flanagan sits at E after 14, and the Considines are right in the mix: Brendan Considine at +1 after 14, then Ciaran Considine climbs to +1 after 15. That’s the sort of consistency you can’t flinch at—two players applying pressure from very different positions on the board.

Further back, the mid-pack is starting to show bite. Ciaran Greene is up to +3 after 13, while Tony McHale, Stevie Geraghty and Tom Curtin are all hovering at the same +4 mark (Curtin +4 after 12, McHale and Geraghty +4 after 13). The standout change is Padraig Burke leaping to +4 after 15—and that tells you the finish is going to be tense, because when someone climbs that quickly, others have to start making decisions rather than just swinging.

Dan Rapaport here—and here’s the whisper in the ropes: Eoghan Considine is sitting 16th with 21 points, but the real story? Word is he’s been tinkering again—little tweaks in the setup, testing a new feel off the first couple of tees. The clubhouse line is he’s hoping that “one fix” turns into consistent numbers, because when he’s dialed, he can make a good round look almost unfair. Just don’t be surprised if you see him ask for one more look at the yardages tomorrow—apparently he’s listening to the course a bit more than the field.

Paddy Power Odds (Eoghan Considine)

With 21 points and sitting 16th after a double bogey on 15, Eoghan is slipping down the pack but he’s still in this—assuming the back nine steadies.

Latest Tournament Price

Eoghan Considine: 40/1

Top of the Market (based on current leaderboard)

• Daire Greene (currently -3): 3/1
• Dave Flanagan (currently E): 6/1
• Brendan Considine (currently +1): 8/1
• Ciaran Considine (currently +1): 9/1
• Alan Dempsey (currently +2): 12/1

How it might finish

I fancy Daire Greene to hold his nerve from here if he avoids another wobble—he’s got the lead and the momentum. The chasing group looks tightly bunched, so expect the winner to come from the Greene/Flanagan/Considine trio rather than anyone further back. For Eoghan, it’s about damage limitation now—another score or two like this and he’ll likely be fighting for a low-mid finish rather than pushing for the win.

Oi Eoghan Considine… back to back *panic swings* on 14-15 and now we’re staring at a double bogey like it’s a Netflix series. 📺😬

Through 15 you’re +9… mate, I’ve seen more fight in my plugged-in WiFi. #SwingAndPray
