Alright, Wayne Riley on the call here, and weāve just come through holes 17 and 18 with plenty of movement in the group. Brendan Considine couldnāt quite capitalise earlyāheās steady but under pressure after a par on 17 and then a bogey on 18, leaving him +3 overall. Over the back, Dave Flanagan showed a bit of flare with a birdie on 17, but it was followed by some scrambleāheās been brought back with a double bogey on 18, still sitting at -2. And Ryan Kelly has had a tough run: a bogey on 17 and another bogey on 18, so heās standing at +5 after those two holes. Big swings thereānow itās about who steadies the ship and who makes the next run count.
-
Alright, weāve been watching this group swing into the last couple of holes, and what a turnaround in momentum itās been. Brendan Considine has gone back-to-back birdies on holes 14 and 15, keeping things locked at +2 as he builds a tidy rhythm through the stretch. Dave Flanagan is also in birdie formātwo in a row of his own on those same holes, and heās sitting nice and steady at -2, looking comfortable when it counts. And Ryan Kelly has been right in the mix as well: birdie on 14, then just par on 15, leaving him at +3. All three are certainly doing damage around the greens and keeping the scoreboard honest as they push on.

Paddy Power Tournament Odds (Latest)
Ryan Kelly (15th, 27 points; par on Hole 15, trending improving)
- To win: 25/1
- Top 3: 6/1
- Top 10: 2/1
Market leaders
- Danny Finn 4/1 (tied -3 after 6)
- Eoghan Considine 4/1 (tied -3 after 6)
- Liam Rockall 7/2 (-3 after 7)
- Dave Flanagan 12/1 (-2 after 15)
- Ciaran Considine 20/1 (E after 7)
Commentary
Finn and Considine look nicely set at the topāshort-game discipline holding them near the flag. Rockallās been right there too, and if he keeps the pressure on through the back half, heās the one to jump. Ryan Kelly has the momentum (improving trend after a par at 15) and can creep up, but heāll need a couple of swings at birdie range to turn ātop-10 safeā into a title charge.
How it might finish
Likely shake-up at the top: Finn or Eoghan Considine to sneak it, with Rockall close behindālate runs are key, and Ryan will be chasing positions rather than leading the charge.
-
Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly is starting to heat upāafter slipping into form, he just popped a birdie on Hole 14 to move to 15th with 25 points. The key story in this rivalry is momentum: when Kellyās stroke rhythm clicks, he forces his opponent to play catch-upāone swing at a time.
Round trend: Improvingāand right now, thatās exactly the kind of pressure that turns a tight matchup into a chase.
-
Alright, what a run itās been for this group over the last couple of holes. Brendan Considine steadied things up nicelyāheād drifted to a bogey on 11, but then bounced back with a par on 12, holding his card at +3. Across the way, Dave Flanagan is really finding his form: an eagle on 12 to square things up, followed by a birdie on 13āand heās sitting level with the course at E. And Ryan Kelly is hanging in there too: despite remaining at +4, heās got the positive momentum with par on 12 and then a birdie on 13. Big swing of momentum with Flanagan leading the chargeāthis oneās tightening up nicely.

Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly vs. the field
Ryan Kelly just sticks the landing on Hole 13 for a birdie, and you can feel the momentum shift. At 19th with 22 points, Kellyās round is now clearly improvingāthe kind of surge that often changes how rivals play the next few holes: they tighten up, take fewer risks, and try to break his rhythm instead of matching it.
With the birdie coming right in the middle stretch, this rivalry dynamic is turning into a race of nerve and execution. If Kelly keeps stacking scoringāespecially when pressure rises around the closing holesāheāll force his main competition to chase rather than dictate.

Ryan Kelly on +5 through 10 and now a bogey on 10? Buddy out here swinging like the GPS gave up. Somebody check the courseāheās playing with Monopoly money! šā³ļø #LetEmCook #RyanWho

Paddy Power Market (Tournament Odds) ā latest as the leaderboard stands after Hole 9.
1) Liam Rockall (ā1 after 1) ā 2/1
Rockall looks like the class of the field early doors and heās got the momentum to turn this into a runaway.2) Tom Curtin (E after 1) ā 5/2
Canāt ignore the steadinessāif he keeps things tidy, heāll be right there at the finish.3) Stevie Geraghty (E after 0) ā 7/1
Level par isnāt a bad place to beāwatch for a late push if the scoring opens up.4) Danny Finn (E after 0) ā 10/1
Still within range and one good stretch could swing it his way.5) Ryan Kelly (+4 after 9, 7th) ā 25/1
Had a bogey on 9 and the round trend is declining. Heāll need a couple of bounce-back holes to climb into anything meaningful.How it might finish: My money still stays with Rockall or Curtin. If the early leaders keep their nerve, it could end up as a tight two-horse jobāKelly looks more like heāll fight for pride on the back nine rather than the win.

Alrighto, youāve seen plenty happen over the last two holes and the pictureās pretty clear: Brendan Considine steadied himself nicely, flipping things from a bogey at 7 to a birdie at 8, and heās hanging around at +1. Dave Flanagan followed a similar early bump, but he came back with a par at 8 after that bogey, so he tooās +1ānot too much damage, just solid damage control. Now Ryan Kelly is the one whoās had a bit more movement: heās been birdie-bogey-ing the last two, climbing to +3 overall, and heās still got that punchy feel if he can turn one more chance into points.
-
Ryan Kelly just worked his way through Hole 8 for a bogey ā moving things to +3 overall. Heās currently sitting 3rd, and you can see that round trend starting to bend in the right direction, even if that little wobble keeps him honest.
Now itās all about controlling the damage: give yourself a proper look at the next green, keep the momentum, and donāt let one missed swing turn into a streak.
-
Ryan Kelly has just ticked another brilliant box on Hole 7āa birdie to move into the 1st spot.
You can feel the momentum swinging his way now. With 14 total points on the board and that round trend looking up, heās playing with confidenceāputting himself under real pressure for the rest of the field.
Keep finding the fairway, keep giving himself those chancesābecause right now, heās in the driverās seat.
-
Rivalry Update: Ryan Kelly has stamped his authority at the topāheās just rolled in a birdie on Hole 7 to move into 1st with 14 points.
In this matchup, the rivalry has become a battle of timing: one swing can flip the momentum, and Ryan is clearly finding his rhythm. With his round trend improving, heās pressing the gap and forcing his rival to react rather than dictate.
Next step: keep the pressure on early, because when Ryanās putting starts clicking, heās hardest to catch in the stretch.
-
Alright folks, two holes in the book and itās been steady stuff out there. Brendan Considine managed to get himself back to square on the scoreboardāheās been sitting at +1 after a bogey on the fifth and then a tidy par on the sixth to hold the line. Dave Flanagan has been even-keeled as well, with par on both holes to stay right on even. And Ryan Kelly? Heās also inching along at +1, carding par, par across holes five and sixāno drama, just doing the job under pressure.
-
Ryan Kelly strolls through Hole 6 and brings it home at par ā a tidy +1 on the day. Nothing flashy, but itās exactly the sort of controlled golf that keeps the pressure from spreading.
Heās sitting 3rd with 11 points, and the round trend is decliningāthatās a comforting sign as we push deeper into the back end.
-
Hole 5 ā Ryan Kelly stays nice and tidy at par, and itās a big little moment for him out there. Heās up to 9 total points and sits in 3rd, with the round trend still heading in the right direction.
Thatās the sort of steady golf you want: no drama, no detoursājust keep the momentum rolling.
-
Ryan Kelly strolls through Hole 4 with a tidy parāa steadying moment as he sits 3rd with 7 points on the board. And you can see that round trend starting to decline, which is exactly what you want when the pressureās there.
-
Alright, weāve been following this group across the last two holes and itās been a real mixed bag. Brendan Considine has steadied the ship brilliantlyāback-to-back pars at holes 2 and 3, keeping him locked at even. Dave Flanagan couldnāt quite hold that momentum though: a bogey followed by a par leaves him still even, but you can feel heāll want to tidy up those couple of swings before the round slips away. And Ryan Kellyāwell, he started with par, but the wheels wobbled at the third hole with a double bogey, so heās sitting +1 after two holes. Big moment for Ryan to respond quickly, because this is where momentum can flip in a hurry.
-
Alright folks, insider gossip from the fairways: Ryan Kelly is quietly buzzing at 3rd and somehow has found a rhythm with his putting that looks way too calm for a guy with 5 points on the board. Iām hearing heās been leaning on one very specific pre-shot routineāsame breath, same tempo, and a quick thumb-check on his gripābecause the moment his pace starts wandering, his confidence seems to follow. Nothing ādramatic,ā just that telltale tour-truth: heās tightening up the small stuff while everyoneās watching the big swings⦠and thatās why heās hanging around the top like he belongs there.
-
Ryan Kelly on +1 through 3 and somehow still managing to look surprised by every swing⦠like the golf course just pulled a prank on him. Double bogey on 3? Buddy, youāre not playing golfāyouāre auditioning for āMost Dramatic Bunker Entertainer.ā š
-
Ryan Kelly has just dropped one on Hole 3, carding a double bogey. You can feel the momentum shiftāone of those holes where suddenly the margin vanishes and the scoreboard starts to sting. Still, heās sitting in 3rd position, with 5 points on the board and a declining round trend right now.
Right here, itās all about getting back on the fairway, keeping it simple, and letting the pars build again. The comeback starts with the next shot.
