  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.

  Paddy Power Specials — Latest tournament odds as we roll into the closing stretch (Alan Dempsey currently 6th, +3 after a bogey on 15):

  1) Daire Greene — 5/4
  In front at -3; if he keeps the ball in play he’s got the look of a closer rather than a slider.

  2) Ciaran Considine — 13/2
  Late momentum: he’s been climbing after the turn—just needs fewer “scratchy” swings down the last few holes.

  3) Dave Flanagan — 9/1
  Stays near the top at +1; he’s the sort to nick a birdie on a pressured back nine.

  4) Alan Dempsey — 10/1
  Bogey on 15 and the trend’s declining, but he’s still within a couple of scores of the front—one tidy stretch could flip this.

  5) Brendan Considine — 12/1
  Also sat at +3; if the putter stays warm he’s dangerous on shorter pin positions.

  6) Ciaran Greene — 14/1
  Hanging around at +3; needs a late burst to get over the line.

  How I think it finishes: With Greene leading at -3, this looks like a Greene win unless someone strings together two birdies late. My call? Daire Greene to hold on, with Ciaran Considine chasing hard for second.
• Paul McGinley 16:20, 5 September 2026

  Rivalry Update: Alan Dempsey is tightening the screws in this head-to-head chase. After a birdie on Hole 13, Dempsey moves into the 6th position with 24 points, keeping the pressure on his rival as the round trend continues to decline.

  Right now, this rivalry looks like a momentum battle: Dempsey’s latest surge suggests he’s willing to swing the match with mid-round scoring—exactly when the opponent has to answer.
• 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 latest tournament odds

  1st/Win (outright, about now):

  • Daire Greene — 2/1 (now -1 after 8; looks the class act if he keeps it steady from here)
  • Ciaran Considine — 9/2 (now -1 after 10; solid position and holding up late)
  • Tom Curtin — 5/1 (E after 8; could creep into it with a couple of low swings)
  • Ciaran Greene — 7/1 (E after 8; danger if the putter wakes up)
  • Alan Dempsey — 12/1 (now +1 after 9; birdie on 9 is a timely lift and with a declining trend he’s well placed to climb)

  How it might finish

  With the leaders only separated by a couple of shots, this looks like a tight scrap at the top. I fancy Greene to just edge it, with Considine close in the mix. If the front-runners start trading pars, Dempsey can make a late push—though he’ll need to keep converting momentum into birdies rather than just hanging around.
• Paul McGinley 15:21, 5 September 2026

  Rivalry update: Alan Dempsey is starting to put daylight between himself and his closest competition as he works his way through the back nine.

  With a birdie on Hole 9, Dempsey moves into 5th on the leaderboard, sitting at 17 points. The round trend is declining—that’s the kind of momentum that tends to tighten rivalries fast, because the player chasing Dempsey has to take more risks to match him.

  Right now, this battle is shaping up as a classic test of nerve: can Alan keep the pressure on with another sharp swing, or does the rival find a quick answer on the next holes?
• 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.
• Ewen Murray 14:06, 5 September 2026

  Alan Dempsey has got himself back on song on Hole 4—that one comes in par, and it’s another tidy step in what’s been an improving round.

  He’s sitting in 3rd place with 8 points, and you can feel the calm build. Keep playing smart, keep putting the ball in position, and those pars start to add up.
• Paul McGinley 13:44, 5 September 2026

  Rivalry update: Alan Dempsey is setting the tone early—just finished Hole 3 with a birdie to climb into 9th, sitting on 6 total points.

  What makes this feel like a true rivalry moment: with the round trend now declining, Dempsey’s pushing to seize control before his opponent can answer back. If he keeps finding momentum like this birdie, the scoreboard pressure swings quickly—and that’s exactly how rivalries get decided.
• Paul McGinley 13:32, 5 September 2026

  Alan Dempsey is making his move early—he’s just piled on a birdie at Hole 2 to land in 12th with 3 points so far, and the round trend is declining, which usually means tighter ball-striking and momentum building.

  Now, rivalry-wise, this is where the pressure starts to show: Dempsey’s confidence on the front two holes forces his chief competitor to respond quickly—because when he’s dialed in this early, he tends to turn every swinging moment into a point swing. If he keeps that trend moving, this rivalry could heat up fast, with Dempsey pushing for separation rather than just staying in it.

  Next stop: can he make the birdie run contagious—or will the rival slow the pace?
• Dan Rapaport 13:17, 5 September 2026

  Alright, listen up—insider gossip from the ropes: Alan Dempsey is sitting 10th right now, but sources say he’s not exactly in cruise-control—more like in “watching the swing in the mirror” mode. Word is the back nine approach plans are getting rewritten on the fly, and he’s been spotted practicing those touchy little wedges like he’s trying to convince them personally. The scuttlebutt? He’s got a quiet equipment tweak in mind—nothing flashy, just a small change that could make his scoring feel way less stressful once the points actually start stacking. Stay tuned… because if he gets rolling, he’ll be hard to stop.
• Twitter 13:17, 5 September 2026

  HEYYY Alan Dempsey! After a double bogey on 1 you’re already playing defense like it’s a UFC prelim. 📉 Sitting +2 through 1 and I swear that “declining trend” is your swing, not the standings. C’mon man—save some strokes for the rest of us! ⛳️😤
• Paul McGinley 13:17, 5 September 2026

  Rivalry update: Alan Dempsey is setting the tone early, but it’s been a rough start on Hole 1 with a double bogey. Right now he’s sitting 10th, and his round trend is declining—the kind of momentum swing that can really sharpen a rivalry.

  When Dempsey and his rival are this close on the leaderboard, that first-hole stumble often becomes the story: the opponent gains early breathing room, and Dempsey has to respond immediately to avoid letting the rivalry slip out of his hands.

  Stay tuned—this match-up could turn on the next few holes if Dempsey can arrest the decline and start clawing back points.
