  Dan Rapaport, in the know: Phil Staunton’s sitting pretty in 7th with 30 points, but don’t let the calm demeanor fool you—word in the ropes is he’s been working overtime on something that won’t show up on the leaderboard: his start line. A couple of his buddies say he’s quietly gotten obsessed with dialing in the first few feet off the putter, and if that clicks, look out—because the way he’s been striking it in practice, he’s got that “one hot run” vibe. Translation? Staunton’s trying to make sure his momentum doesn’t come in bursts—he wants it to come in a full swing.

  OH PHIL STANTON… finishing Hole 18 with a SCRATCH like it’s a magic trick and the ball just… vanished. 🪄⛳️

  You’re +6 for the round and still somehow managing to turn “declining trend” into career choices. 7th place, 30 points… bold strategy, Cotton. 😭

  Someone check if Phil accidentally filed the scorecard under “too hurt to proceed.”
• Paul McGinley 16:24, 6 June 2026

  Rivalry update: With Phil Staunton finishing Hole 18 on a scratch, his momentum in this head-to-head has taken a hit—he’s currently sitting in 7th with 30 points. The round trend is declining, and that’s the kind of wobble that rivals love to pounce on, especially when the pressure shifts late in the match.

  From here, Staunton will need to sharpen up the closing execution—because in this rivalry, one late slip can swing the narrative fast.

  Alright, cracking couple of holes here, and you can feel the pressure tightening. Oisin O’Malley has steadied the ship again, staying at +1 through holes 15 and 16—it’s not flashy, but it’s solid golf and that’s what you need. Phil Staunton, though, is hanging in at +4 over the same stretch, showing he’s still in the fight, but he’s got to start trimming those numbers. Over on the other end, Stevie Geraghty is struggling badly—after a scratch at 15 he’s backed up to a double bogey on 16, leaving him stuck at +16. And Mike Rockall is also deep in the rough mathematically, holding +14 after both holes—same story, same grind, but he’s got work to do if he wants to claw it back.
• Iona Stephen 15:28, 6 June 2026

  Alright, let’s take it from the last couple of holes and see how this field’s shaking out. Mike Rockall has had a rollercoaster moment—he’s strayed into a bogey on 14 after that scratchy patch, and he’s still sitting at +14 overall. Stevie Geraghty hasn’t quite got things going though, with two straight scratches recorded on holes 15, leaving him on +14 as well—no easy consolation when you’re chasing scores. Meanwhile, Oisin O’Malley is looking steadier: he’s slipped to a bogey on 14 but then straightened up with a par on 15, holding firm at +1. And Phil Staunton—he’s been a bit untidy at the business end, carding a bogey on 14 and then a par on 15, staying at +4.
• Paddy Power 15:28, 6 June 2026

  Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest) — after the action at Hole 15, here’s how we rate the leaders to go on and lift the trophy:

  • Alan Dempsey (E after 15): 4/1 — steady up the leaderboard; if he keeps momentum, he’s right there at the finish.
  • Padraig Burke (E after 15): 11/2 — hard to shake, but needs to sharpen up the closing holes.
  • Oisin O’Malley (+1 after 14): 6/1 — just a point behind; could easily turn that into a winning position with a couple of key looks at birdie.
  • Ryan Kelly (+2 after 17): 12/1 — made his push and is still in range; finish could be tense.
  • Ciaran Considine (+3 after 18): 18/1 — strong effort so far, but needs others to wobble from here.

  Phil Staunton (+4 after 15, 6th): 33/1 — round trend is declining, so he’ll need a late flurry to climb back into contention.

  How I think it’ll finish: Looks like a tight scramble at the top. Most likely result is a win from Dempsey or Burke, with O’Malley lurking if he converts chances on the back nine.
• Paul McGinley 14:23, 6 June 2026

  Rivalry Update: Phil Staunton is starting to get the better of this matchup again. After rolling in a birdie on Hole 11, he’s now sitting 7th with 19 total points, and the round trend is clearly improving.

  That birdie swing matters in a rivalry—when your opponent expects pressure to build, you turn it into momentum. If Staunton keeps this upside moving, the head-to-head edge will keep shifting in his favor.
• Paul McGinley 14:09, 6 June 2026

  Rivalry update: Phil Staunton just clicked into gear on Hole 10 for a birdie, and that lift has him sitting in 7th with 16 points.

  Momentum-wise, the round trend is declining, but this birdie is a statement—especially in any rivalry race, because it tightens the gap and forces his opponent to match precision under pressure.

  Keep an eye on whether Staunton can turn that mid-round spark into a sustained push—this rivalry is often decided not by one highlight, but by who holds composure when the scoring lines get stubborn.
• Paddy Power 13:59, 6 June 2026

  Paddy Power Tournament Odds (latest)

  • Ryan Kelly: 5/2 — Leads the way and looks comfortable, but he’ll need to keep the wheels on from here.
  • Alan Dempsey: 7/2 — Just one shot off the front; if he holds steady he’s right in the frame to nick it.
  • Eoghan Considine: 9/1 — Level/near the front around the turn; could charge late if the scoring opens up.
  • Padraig Burke: 11/1 — Shouldn’t be written off; staying within touching distance can pay off quickly.
  • Phil Staunton: 18/1 — Currently P7 on +5. With form declining, he’ll likely need a couple of low holes to sneak into contention.

  How it might finish

  I fancy a tight one at the top: Kelly to hold on, with Dempsey the main danger. Staunton looks more like a fight-for-the-places type unless he flips momentum over the back nine.
• Iona Stephen 13:43, 6 June 2026

  Alrighty, we’ve followed this bunch right through the last two holes, and it’s been a bit of a mixed bag. Mike Rockall had the best chance to kick on but a par was followed by a double bogey on the next, and he’s stuck at +6 overall. Stevie Geraghty has gone the same way—par, then another dbl bogey—leaving him at +7. Now, it’s Oisin O’Malley who’s keeping things steadier: he’s had a par and then a bogey, still holding at +2, which is a nice position compared to the others. And Phil Staunton—par on the seventh and a bogey on the eighth—remains at +5. Bottom line: the front runners in terms of scoring are Oisin O’Malley, while the rest are paying for mistakes with those double-figure setbacks.
• Wayne Riley 12:18, 6 June 2026

  Well, last couple of holes and it’s been a real mixed bag out there. Oisin O’Malley has kept things tidy, turning in two straight pars at holes two and three to stay right on level. Stevie Geraghty, though, has slipped a little—he started with a par but followed it with a bogey on the next, hanging on at +1. Phil Staunton and Mike Rockall have both had tougher spells, with back-to-back bogeys bringing Phil to +3 and Mike to +1 respectively. It’s shaping up to be one of those stretches where a couple of shots can swing the whole complexion of the leaderboard—keep an eye on who steadies the ship from here.

  Alright Phil Staunton—you’re +3 through 3 and somehow still acting like that bogey on 3 was a “strategy.” 😂 Finish strong, king of edging the pain! Can’t win ’em, but you sure can almost avoid penalties!
