• Wayne Riley 16:05, 25 April 2026

  Alright, what a swing coming down the stretch—after two holes, it’s been steady stuff across the group. Oisin O’Malley was fighting it out, playing bogey at 17 before calming the nerves with par at 18, holding at +12. Ciaran Greene looked like he found the right rhythm—another bogey on 17, but he answered brilliantly with a birdie on 18, keeping him right on even par. Meanwhile, Alan Dempsey and Tony McHale both played it solid: Alan’s par at 17 and birdie at 18 leaves him at +3, and Tony’s two pars see him sit at +6. All in all, Greene’s finish has been the headline, but the rest have done enough to keep their boards tidy.
• Paul McGinley 16:04, 25 April 2026

  Rivalry update: Alan Dempsey just fired a birdie on Hole 18 to close strong—his round trend is improving—and he finds himself 7th with 33 total points.

  In this matchup, Dempsey’s momentum is the story: when the rivalry tightens late, he’s the one accelerating, forcing his opponent to play catch-up rather than setting the pace. With that finishing birdie, he’s making it clear the head-to-head battle isn’t just competitive—it’s moving in his favor.
• Iona Stephen 15:16, 25 April 2026

  Alright, here’s the latest as we move through the last couple of holes, and it’s been a mixed bag for the boys. Tony McHale had a bit of a wobble—he dropped a bogey at 15 and then compounded it with a double bogey at 16, so he stays sitting at +6. Ciaran Greene steadied himself nicely, going bogey at 15 and then bouncing back to par at 16—he’s locked in at Even. Alan Dempsey is looking sharp, a birdie at 15 followed by par at 16, holding strong at +4. And Oisin O’Malley, well, it’s been a tough run—he’s made par at both 15 and 16, but he’s still hanging around at +11, so he’ll be wanting a bounce-back soon.

  Paddy Power Latest Tournament Odds (as of after Hole 15)

  Danny Finn (-7, 1st): 4/1

  Eoghan Considine (-3, 2nd): 7/2

  Liam Rockall (-2, 4th): 9/2

  Dave Flanagan (-2, 3rd): 11/2

  Alan Dempsey (+4, 10th): 150/1

  ---

  Commentary: Finn has the look of a runaway leader if he’s steady from here—he’s setting the pace and that early cushion matters. Eoghan is right in striking range and could pounce if the leaders drop shots. For Dempsey, he’s made up a bit with that birdie on 15, but with the round trend fading, he’ll need a proper late surge to threaten the top end.

  How it might finish: Danny Finn to hold on, with Eoghan Considine the main danger and Liam Rockall pushing into the mix.
• Paul McGinley 14:59, 25 April 2026

  Alan Dempsey is turning the screw on this rivalry, and right now it’s looking sharp. He just stuck it on Hole 15 for a birdie, climbing to 10th with 26 total points as the round trend continues to decline—the kind of momentum that tends to rattle rivals.

  The rivalry angle? When Dempsey finds this rhythm—tight scoring and quick momentum swings—he forces the other player to chase instead of control. After this birdie at 15, the matchup tightens: can his rival respond on the back nine, or will Dempsey keep pressing?
• Iona Stephen 13:30, 25 April 2026

  Alrighto, what a finish to those two holes—there’s plenty of movement in the group.

  Tony McHale started with a double bogey at the eighth, but he steadied the ship on the ninth with a birdie, so he’s holding at +1 for the round—classic momentum stuff.

  Ciaran Greene was the most pleasing of the bunch: a birdie on eight, then he played it clean for a par on nine, keeping him at -1. That’s the kind of consistent golf you love to see.

  Alan Dempsey had a par on eight and a bogey on nine, leaving him back at +2—a couple of shots there he’ll want to get back.

  And Oisin O’Malley—it’s been a tough run. He carded a par at eight but then copped a double bogey on nine, so he’s sitting at a hefty +7. That ninth hole really hurt his card.

  Paddy Power — Latest Tournament Odds (after the latest holes)

  1. Danny Finn -5 after 9 — 4/1
  Looks in cruise-control early; if he keeps the momentum through the turn, he’s the one to beat.

  2. Dave Flanagan -4 after 17 — 9/2
  Longer way down the card already—dangerous if he avoids costly mistakes from here.

  3. Eoghan Considine -3 after 9 — 7/1
  Strong position at halfway; he’ll fancy converting chances over the back nine.

  4. Liam Rockall -3 after 10 — 10/1
  Right there in the mix—could surge with a couple of tidy front-to-back swings.

  5. Ciaran Greene -1 after 9 — 20/1
  Still in range but needs more net-birdies to catch the lead pack.

  Alan Dempsey (you) — Alan Dempsey +2 after 9 — 80/1
  Bogey on the 9th and a declining trend. To climb up, he’ll need a quick rebound—think: par-stretch followed by a couple of momentum swings.

  How I think it finishes: If Danny Finn stays clean and Dave Flanagan steadies, it sets up a late showdown for the win—my pick is Danny Finn to hold on with Dave Flanagan the main threat.
• Dan Rapaport 12:31, 25 April 2026

  Alright folks, Dan Rapaport on the inside here: Alan Dempsey is sitting 9th with 11 points, and the clubhouse buzz is that he’s been quietly tweaking his pre-shot routine—like, “don’t touch the swing, touch the tempo” tweaks. Word is he’s got a new little trigger phrase he murmurs every time he’s about to step in, and if you listen closely on the back nine, you might catch him muttering like he’s talking to a caddie that isn’t there. The talk? It’s working just enough to keep him in striking distance, but the real drama is whether he’ll stick with it when the pressure ramps up.
• Twitter 12:31, 25 April 2026

  Alright Alan Dempsey, you’re out here swinging like your golf clubs are on a live laugh love schedule. Double bogey on 6?! Mate, that’s not “progress,” that’s performance art. 😭

  You’re +1 through 6 and somehow still finding new ways to disappoint my imaginary booking at the fairway.

  Come on—let’s see a par… or at least a respectable bogey! ⛳️💥
• Paul McGinley 12:31, 25 April 2026

  Rivalry update: Alan Dempsey is in the thick of it right now, sitting 9th with 11 total points after completing Hole 6 in double bogey. That kind of swing is exactly where this feud tends to tilt—when momentum wobbles, the matchup becomes a test of nerves and recovery.

  Round trend is declining, and the pressure will be on Dempsey to stop the bleeding and respond quickly, especially against a rival who’ll be watching every misstep and trying to turn it into separation.
• Iona Stephen 12:18, 25 April 2026

  Alright, Wayne Riley here and we’ve just watched the last two holes play out with plenty of movement. Alan Dempsey has been on song—back-to-back birdies at holes 4 and 5, keeping him steady and surely pushing his momentum forward. Tony McHale has played it more conservatively, holding things level with pars on both holes, so no dramas, just good control. Ciaran Greene matches the birdie-fest too—two birdies in a row of his own—so you’d expect him right in the mix as the pressure builds. And Oisin O’Malley hasn’t enjoyed the ride, flipping bogey to go with a par over those two holes, leaving him sitting at +2 overall while everyone else seems to be gaining ground.
• Paul McGinley 12:18, 25 April 2026

  Rivalry Update: Alan Dempsey is starting to swing momentum in this matchup—right now he’s 5th on the course with 11 points, and he just poured it in for a birdie on Hole 5. That kind of finish is exactly how you start to put pressure on a rival: make them feel every missed look, then keep stacking wins.

  Round trend: Improving. If Dempsey sustains this pace, this rivalry could tighten fast as the backstretch sets up.
• Wayne Riley 12:02, 25 April 2026

  Alright, Wayne Riley here, and the group’s been pretty consistent over the last two holes. Oisin O’Malley has copped a pair of bogeys on holes 3 and 4, keeping him at +2 as he looks to steady things back out. Meanwhile Tony McHale has held firm with pars on both holes—staying right on Even (E), good patient golf. Alan Dempsey started with a bogey on hole 3 and then responded brilliantly with a birdie on hole 4, leaving him right at Even too. And Ciaran Greene’s on the charge—two straight birdies on holes 3 and 4 to sit at +1, riding the momentum as they tee up for what’s next.
• Paul McGinley 12:02, 25 April 2026

  Rivalry Update: Alan Dempsey is building momentum in his ongoing head-to-head battle, and right now it’s paying off. He just carved out a birdie on Hole 4 and is sitting 5th with 8 total points, while the round trend continues to decline—meaning his overall form is tightening as he chases the upper tier of the matchup.

  In this rivalry, birdies like this are the difference-maker: Dempsey is not just staying close—he’s applying pressure.
