  Rivalry Update: Tony McHale vs. the field’s main nemesis

  Tony McHale just turned in a birdie on Hole 17, and that’s a big momentum swing in the heat of this rivalry. He’s sitting 11th right now with 28 points, and the round trend is declining—meaning he’s still under pressure, but he’s doing the right thing at the right time.

  That birdie keeps the chase alive late, and it’s exactly the kind of late-round punch that tends to decide these head-to-head matchups.

  Alrighty, from where we’ve been watching—over the last two holes it’s been a real mix-up. Tony McHale gave himself a bit of heartburn with a par on 15 followed by a bogey on 16, keeping him sitting at +7. Meanwhile, Alan Dempsey couldn’t get much going—he dropped another bogey on 15 and another on 16, so he’s also holding steady at +4. And Stevie Geraghty—started with a birdie on 15 but then slipped back with a bogey on 16, leaving him at +5. So it’s not a clean run for anyone—just one swing away either way as they head into the next stretch.

  TONY McHale out here playing like his golf ball is using “find my iPhone” technology. Hole 16 bogey—love to see it. You’re +7 through 16 and still somehow “climbing” in 12th… sure, buddy. 🌟

  Ryan Kelly (+4 after 13): 20/1

  Stevie Geraghty (+5 after 14): 25/1

  Mike Rockall (+5 after 15): 28/1

  ---

  Quick take: Daire Greene looks the class of the field if he keeps putting a lid on the late holes—he’s banker material around here. I’ve got Ciaran Considine and Dave Flanagan sniffing danger; with the turn still in play, any slip up from the front-runner could spark a late charge.

  How it might finish: Greene to hold on for the win, with Considine and Flanagan likely chasing in that order.

  OH TONY McHale 😤… on +6 through 15 like it’s a lifestyle choice. That “declining trend” is giving “dropping confidence, not ball” 🥴. Get it together—at this rate you’ll finish 11th in your own nightmares. #Golf #InTheRough
• Dan Rapaport 16:46, 5 September 2026

  Dan Rapaport here—alright, here’s the whisper from the ropes: Tony McHale is sitting 12th with 22 points, and the chatter is that his putter’s been getting a little extra attention in the parking-lot practice area. Word is he’s been rolling “just to stay calm,” but the guys on the bag cart say it’s more than that—apparently he’s tweaked his read speed again, the kind of fix that doesn’t show up until the greens start talking back. If he goes low on the next couple holes, watch for the confidence spike… and yes, somebody’s already heard him say, “I finally know what it’s doing.”
• Twitter 16:46, 5 September 2026

  Oh Tony McHale, my guy is speedrunning the double bogey DLC. 😮‍💨 Hole 14: dbl bogey… and he’s still out here adding points like it’s a hobby. +6 through 14 and round’s declining? Love the confidence though—must be on sale with the irons.
• Paul McGinley 16:45, 5 September 2026

  Tony McHale is trying to claw his way back in the rivalry spotlight as the round heads toward the stretch—he’s just completed Hole 14 with a double bogey and sits 12th on 22 points.

  That snap in form puts pressure on the rivalry narrative: the momentum has been declining, and this is exactly the kind of swing where his rival can start dictating the pace—one careless hole can turn a chase into a gap you have to fight all the way back.

  Right now, McHale needs a quick reset after the dbl bogey on 14 to keep the rivalry competitive in the back half.
• Dan Rapaport 16:20, 5 September 2026

  Dan Rapaport here—and I’m hearing Tony McHale’s been playing a little “off the radar” lately: nothing flashy, but word is he’s got a new routine for his short iron—same swing, different tempo—because he’s been leaving himself way too many awkward putts on the back nine. He’s sitting in 10th with 22 points, and the chatter is that if he can stop flirting with the edge of the greens and start pin-hunting just a touch more, he could jump a few spots faster than the leaderboard can blink. Watch his next look from inside 15 feet—if it’s dialed, this could get interesting.
• Twitter 16:20, 5 September 2026

  Oof, Tony McHale really said “let’s double-bogey the vibe” on 13. Down goes the momentum! 📉

  Buddy, I’ve seen dryer lint with better lag putting than this. 😭

  Currently +4 thru 13 and sitting 10th—come on, swing like your chances aren’t on strike!
• Paul McGinley 16:20, 5 September 2026

  Rivalry Update: Tony McHale is battling hard in this showdown, and right now his momentum is taking a dip. On Hole 13, McHale came up with a double bogey, sliding his way to 10th on the leaderboard.

  With 22 points and a declining round trend, this is the kind of swing that can shift a rivalry—because the other player will sense the window opening while McHale tries to regroup and keep the match under control.

  Keep an eye on the next stretch: this is where rivals start separating—either McHale turns it into a comeback, or the pressure keeps stacking.
• Paul McGinley 16:03, 5 September 2026

  Tony McHale is turning up the heat in the rivalry right now—carving out momentum with a birdie on Hole 12 to move into 4th place on 22 points. The key storyline? His form is improving, and when Tony’s swing starts trending upward, his head-to-head edges often show up quickly.

  With the pressure building in this matchup, a birdie on 12 is the kind of swing that can tilt a rivalry—right when the other player wants to seize control. McHale is answering, and you can feel the momentum shifting.
• Wayne Riley 15:50, 5 September 2026

  Alrighto, what a couple of holes to keep things interesting! Stevie Geraghty started with a double bogey on 10, but he steadied himself straight away on 11 with a solid par to hold his total at +3. Tony McHale’s been nice and tidy—back-to-back pars on 10 and 11—so he’s also sitting at +3. And Alan Dempsey’s looking like he’s been running a bit of damage control: he’s carded bogeys on both 10 and 11, yet somehow that’s left him right on +3 as well. So three players locked in together after two holes—this is set up for some serious movement on the next one!

  Paddy Power Tourney Update 🏌️‍♂️

  Tony McHale (currently 10th, +3 after 9, round trend: declining) is staring down a tough chase, but there’s still room for a bounce-back over the back nine.

  Latest Tournament Odds (to finish in the overall lead)

  • Daire Greene (-1 after 8): 5/2 — Looks tidy early and has the look of a closer.
  • Ciaran Considine (-1 after 10): 7/2 — Slight edge with more holes played; just needs to avoid the big slip.
  • Ciaran Greene (E after 8): 9/2 — Back-in-it potential; can kick on if putts start dropping.
  • Tom Curtin (E after 8): 6/1 — Staying level; if he keeps momentum, he’ll be right there.
  • Brendan Considine (+1 after 8): 10/1 — Needs a low stretch to overturn the leaders.
  • Stevie Geraghty (+2 after 8): 14/1 — More work required, but not ruled out with a couple of swings.
  • Dave Flanagan (+2 after 8): 16/1 — Similar story: go low from here.
  • Alan Dempsey (+2 after 8): 18/1 — If the scoring opens up, he’s capable.
  • Mike Rockall (+3 after 8): 22/1 — Must climb quickly; a birdie run is on the cards.
  • Tony McHale (+3 after 9): 28/1 — Bogey at the turn slows the chase, but a fast finish could still make noise.

  How it’s likely to finish:

  My money says Daire Greene holds on at the pointy end, with Ciaran Considine the main threat. If they both stay out of trouble, expect it to end tight—but Tony McHale will need a couple of sharp scores to drag himself back into contention.
• Iona Stephen 15:07, 5 September 2026

  Alright, well we’ve been watching this group like a hawk over the last two holes, and the picture’s pretty steady. Stevie Geraghty has slotted in two birdies there, keeping the pressure on after that nice run on holes 7 and 8. Alan Dempsey, though, went the other way a touch—one bogey and then back to par—so he’s holding his ground at +2. And Tony McHale has matched that sort of “almost” trend as well: a bogey followed by par, staying locked in at +2. So, overall, Stevie’s clearly finding a bit more momentum, while the other two are treading water—this next stretch could really decide who kicks on.
• Paul McGinley 13:44, 5 September 2026

  Tony McHale is building momentum in the rivalry spotlight as he just rolled in for a birdie on Hole 3.

  With McHale sitting 10th and carrying 6 points after three holes, the round trend is declining—meaning this is the kind of early separation that can tilt a head-to-head.

  In this rivalry, that’s the key: don’t just match—take the lead in scoring early. McHale is doing exactly that right now.
• Ewen Murray 13:16, 5 September 2026

  Tony McHale gets things started in fine style at Hole 1—right there on par. After a steady opening, he’s sitting up in 3rd position with 2 points on the board.

  And you can feel the momentum too—the round trend is heading in the right direction. Hold the nerve, Tony. Let the front nine build.
