September Event #1
Saturday 5 September 2026 in Headfort Old Course
-
Now thatās the kind of turnaround that changes a leaderboard quickly: Ciaran Considine has gone from levelish to right into the mix, moving to -1 after 12, and that puts the pressure right back on Daire Greene, whoās now -2 after 10 instead of opening the gap. Ciaran Greene stays at +1 after 10, and while Dave Flanagan is still hanging tough at +1 after 11, the front isnāt a procession anymoreāitās a battle of who can keep the nerve as the scores compress.
Behind them, the chasing pack is holding formation: Alan Dempsey and Tom Curtin are both on +2, while Brendan Considine sits at +2 after 11. The big stirrer is Padraig Burke, climbing to +3 after 12, and that tells you someoneās finding scoring holes late. The othersāStevie Geraghty at +3 after 10 and Tony McHale at +3 after 10āare steady, but with Considine now hovering under par, the finish will be all about converting momentum into birdies.

Oh Eoghan Considine⦠+9 through 12 and still treating the fairway like itās a rumor. š
That bogey on 12 is your patented āalmost goodā swingāalmost in the hole, almost in control, almost earning my respect. Emphasis on almost.
Keep it upāthis declining round trend is doing cartwheels! š¤”ā³ļø
-
Hole 12: Ciaran Considine goes and finds birdieāthatās the sort of momentum you want when the pressureās starting to creep in.
Heās moved into 2nd place with 25 points on the card, and you can really see the round trend turningādeclining at just the right time.
Thatās a confident, clinical finish from Ciaran. Keep taking those chances and the leaderboard will keep looking kinder.
-
Rivalry Update: Ciaran Considine is turning this contest into a highlight reel. He just rolled in a birdie on Hole 12 to move into 2nd with 25 points, and the round trend is still decliningāthe kind of momentum that tends to separate him from his main rival.
What makes this rivalry spicy: when Considine gets the pressure from the front of the pack, he doesnāt back offāhe attacks. One more run like this and the gap becomes harder to close, especially if his opponent has to play catch-up from here.
As we head into the back stretch, keep an eye on whether the rival can force Considine into a mistakeāor whether he keeps stacking low scores and control of the match.
-
Daire Greene rolls in that par on Hole 10āa steady little stitch in the fabric of this round, and you can feel the momentum building.
He stays 1st on the leaderboard with 22 points, and the trend is still improving. Itās not just keeping it together out thereāitās getting better, hole by hole.
-
Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly just turned in a birdie on Hole 10, and at 11th position with 16 points heās got the momentum working his wayāespecially in the way heās been able to out-run the pressure of a tight head-to-head.
The round trend is declining overall, but a shot like that on the back half is the kind of swing that often flips a rivalry: it forces his opponent to react, and it tightens the margin where Ryanās decision-making and composure usually separate the two.
Bottom line: this is turning into one of those matchups where birdies are statements, and Ryan just made one on No. 10.
-
Padraig Burke out here looking like heās still trying to remember what a golf swing feels likeātempo all over the place and mechanics that collapse the second the pressure shows up. Heās got that classic ānice idea, terrible executionā vibe: face control? questionable. And from where he is, in the 10th spot with 21 points, you canāt afford those lazy missesābecause the leaderboard doesnāt care about excuses, it cares about strikes.
-
NETFLIX is hearing whispers⦠š
Padraig Burke just stole Hole 12 with an eagleāand with his round trending upward, we canāt help but wonder if heāll be part of next yearās FULL SWING.
From what weāre picking up: Padraigās got that calm-before-the-smash energyāmoves like heās built for pressure, jokes like heās got time for everyone, and when the cameras roll, you know heāll be the guy dropping honest takes after a big moment (like that eagle). šŗā³ļø
Stay tuned. Rumor or not, his momentum is electric.

Rivalry Update: Padraig Burke is starting to pull away in momentumāhe just stamped Hole 12 with an eagle to move into 10th and boost his total to 21 points. The big story in this matchup: Burkeās improving round trend is putting pressure on his rivalābecause an eagle swing like that doesnāt just add points, it flips the feeling on the course.
On the back nine, the rivalry tightens when Burke keeps finding low scores. If he can stay steady after that eagle, heāll force his opponent to play catch-up instead of dictating terms.
-
Itās Daire Greene at the front again, and heās putting daylight in his own way: -2 after 9 is still the headline. The pursuers arenāt collapsing, thoughāCiaran Considine remains in the hunt at E after 11, while Ciaran Greene is +1 after 10. Whatās changed is the chase: Dave Flanagan has crept up to +1 after 11, and suddenly itās not just one man moving, itās a cluster tightening around Daireās position.
Just behind them, the middle stays very competitive but with more pressure. Brendan Considine is now +2 after 11, and Alan Dempsey holds +2 after 10āboth signs the scoring isnāt disappearing. Tom Curtin is still +2 after 9, while the group at +3āTony McHale and Stevie Geraghtyāare steady rather than sensational. And then thereās Mike Rockall, out at +5 after 11, which means the leaderboardās story is clear: itās Daireās round to lose, with Flanagan and the Considine(s) sniffing for the moment to strike.
-
Rivalry Watch: Brendan Considine is tightening the screws on his matchup as the round turns. After finishing Hole 11 with a birdie, he sits 5th with 20 points, and the round trend is decliningāmeaning the pressure is starting to show on the leaderboard and in this head-to-head battle.
Considineās birdie puts momentum in his pocket: when he keeps scoring like this, the rivalry swings from āwho can stay steadyā to āwho can strike first.ā
-
Oh Liam Rockall⦠another bogey on 11 and now itās +8 through 11. At this point, the fairway isnāt āout thereā⦠itās just in your imagination. š
Hey Liam, if your ballās gonna take the scenic route, can it at least bring back birdies? Because right now your round trend is doing the opposite of a comeback tour.

Well, thatās a shift in tone at the top. Daire Greene has moved to -2 after 9, and when a leader does it that early itās not just good golfāit starts to feel like inevitability. Ciaran Considine is now E after 11, while Ciaran Greene slips into +1 after 10. So the battle for first tightens, but itās the kind of tightening where one man looks like heās stepping ahead rather than everyone standing shoulder to shoulder.
Down the board, itās still a close chase rather than a runaway. Dave Flanagan holds at +1 after 10, but Alan Dempsey edges to +2 after 10 and Tom Curtin is also +2 after 9, which tells you the scoring opportunities are there but theyāre being earned. The rest are stable: Tony McHale and Stevie Geraghty both at +3 (after 10), Brendan Considine stays at +3 after 10, and Mike Rockall is still +4 after 10. Right now, itās a waiting game for Daireācan he turn that lead into a gap, or will the pack squeeze as the holes get tighter?
-
Oh Evan O'Keeffe⦠up 17th and +10 through 10 like itās a hobby. One more bogey and youāll need GPS to find the fairway⦠assuming the ball ever leaves the rough of your own decisions. š¬ā³ļø #GoBirdie #JustSwingIt
-
Ah yes, Danny Finn at +8 through 10⦠thatās not a leaderboard, thatās a map to the snack bar. Bogey on 10 and somehow still looking surprised like the golf ball isnāt still tiny. On pace for āalmostā again! ššļøāāļø
-
Ciaran Greene strolls through Hole 10 for parāand that keeps him firmly in the mix. Itās a tidy little number when the pressure starts to creep in, and after getting himself moving earlier, heās letting the course come to him rather than chasing it.
Currently sitting 3rd on 19 points, and with the round trend looking downhill, itās shaping up like Greeneās got control of the rhythm.
-
Ciaran Considine turns in a bogey on the 11thāand you can feel the room tighten a touch. Heās currently 2nd, with 22 points on the board, and the signs are still there: the round trend is declining, the kind of momentum you want heading towards the closing holes.
-
Dan Rapaport here, and Iām hearing some clubhouse whispers about Eoghan Considine: heās sitting pretty at 16th with 14 points, but the talk is his putting stroke has been getting āhelpā from a quiet new routineāless tinkering on the practice green, more visualizing right before he steps in. Word is, his caddieās been pressuring him to trust the read even when the line looks stubborn, andāif I know this gameāwhen they stop chasing and start committing, those numbers start showing up.
-
WOOO Eoghan Considine out here playing ādouble bogey bingoā on Hole 11 like itās a feature, not a bug. š 16th place and the only thing trending is your downward spiral. +8 through 11āsomeone call the caddieās therapist, fam.
-
Eoghan Considine is in the thick of a key rivalry showdown, and right now itās turning into a test of nerve rather than pure swing speed.
After finishing Hole 11 with a double bogey, the momentum has slippedāheās sitting 16th with 14 points and a declining round trend. In rivalry terms, thatās the kind of jolt that can swing the psychological edge: the opponent knows Considineās still chasing rhythm, while Considine knows he has to reclaim control before the back nine turns into damage control.
The rivalry right now is about one thing: who can keep mistakes from multiplying. Considineās next few holes will decide whether this rivalry turns into a sprint for redemption or a steady retreat.
