  And that’s it on Hole 18 for Mike Rockall—he’s walked it in for par to bring things home at +3.

  He’s finished in a superb spot, sitting 2nd as the round winds down, and you can feel that declining trend throughout—steady under pressure, smart golf, and he’s done exactly what you want on the closing hole: keep it tidy, keep it moving, and let the leaderboard do the talking.
• Nick Dougherty 14:27, 6 September 2026

  Well done, Mike Rockall—and after a solid fight to get it back under control, he lands bogey on 17. That’s +3 overall now, and he’s still in a brilliant spot, sitting 2nd with 31 points.

  It’s not the flagstick-heroics we like, but in these moments you’ve got to manage the damage, keep the rhythm, and let the last holes sort themselves out. The good news? You can feel the round’s going the right way—the trend’s declining, so if he plays smart from here, he’s right in the mix.
• Nick Dougherty 14:18, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall walking up to the 16th, and what a steady moment this is—he’s finding par when the pressure can start to creep in.

  From where he stands, 2nd place in the mix and 30 points on the board, that par is a tidy little brake on the round. And you can see the trend—it’s still heading the right way, nice and controlled.

  Let’s see if he can keep it calm through the closing holes and turn this momentum into something really solid.

  • Dave Flanagan — 9/1 (On +5 after 15; needs a late swing)
  • Others (Evan/Danny/Oisin/Ciaran/Brendan) — 12/1 to 25/1 (all in touching distance but must be near-perfect from here)

  How it might finish

  Mike’s making ground at the right time—if he keeps the momentum, he’s the one to nick top spot. But Alan still has the cushion and looks the most likely to go on and defend. I’ve got it as a Rockall to force it late, though with Dempsey just shading the win.
• Nick Dougherty 14:00, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall gets his nose in front on Hole 15 with a neat par—and that keeps the momentum firmly on his side. He’s sitting 2nd in the group and marching on with 28 points, with the round getting better as he goes. No drama, just good control—this is exactly the kind of steadiness you want when the pressure starts to creep in.
• Max Homa 14:00, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall’s swing today looked like it was designed by a committee: unpredictable tempo, wild face control, and a finish that never quite commits. You’re sitting 2nd with 29 points, sure—but the way he’s flinging it around means it’s only a matter of time before the wheels come off and the “skill” becomes “luck.” The ball doesn’t come off with confidence; it comes off with negotiation. If he doesn’t tighten the fundamentals fast, this leaderboard won’t be so friendly for long.
• Iona Stephen 13:46, 6 September 2026

  Alright, some real momentum swings over these last two holes. Mike Rockall has stayed razor steady—he was birdie at 13, then managed par at 14, so he’s holding that +2 position like a true pro. Dave Flanagan was the headline at 13 with an eagle, but he couldn’t quite keep the run going as the wheels came off at 14 with a double bogey—so the back-to-back contrast leaves him back at +4. Meanwhile, Ciaran Greene couldn’t find any traction: it’s been bogey-bogey to finish the stretch, leaving him at +15. And Kevin Coen? He’s been solid enough early on with a par at 13, but then he drops the ball big time at 14 with a scratch, keeping him at +13. Bottom line: Rockall’s clean play is paying off, Flanagan’s got the big upside but needs to tighten up, and the others are just battling to get back in it.
• Nick Dougherty 13:45, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall arrives at Hole 14 and finds par—a steady little moment in the round. With him sitting 1st on 26 points and that round trend continuing to improve, he’s keeping his nerve when the course starts to ask more of you.

  It’s a clean hold of the line, and you can feel the confidence building as he protects momentum going into the back stretch.
• Nick Dougherty 13:25, 6 September 2026

  Nick Dougherty here, and what a moment for Mike Rockall on Hole 13 — he’s fired in a birdie to keep the pressure right where he wants it. He moves up into 1st on the leaderboard, sitting on 24 points, and the round trend is declining, which is exactly the way you want it.

  That’s the kind of steady, controlled golf that separates the front runners from the rest — one more hole like that and he’s really going to make it uncomfortable for everyone chasing.
• Paul McGinley 13:25, 6 September 2026

  Rivalry Update: Mike Rockall is turning the heat again. Through Hole 13, he’s posted a birdie and sits in 1st with 24 points. The scoreboard pressure is mounting, and you can feel it in the way this contest is being chased—Rockall’s round trend is declining, which is exactly what his rival hates most: momentum that keeps getting sharper as the back half approaches.

  With Rockall controlling the pace right now, this rivalry isn’t just close—it’s tilting. One more strong stretch could force his opponent into riskier lines and tighter margins.
• Iona Stephen 13:11, 6 September 2026

  Alright folks, we’ve just got through the last two holes and it’s been a mixed bag. Ciaran Greene has been steady but under pressure—he’s stayed at +13 after playing par on 11 and then par again on 12. Mike Rockall meanwhile is hanging around the mark, pushing back to finish those two holes at +3—a bogey on 11 but recovered with par on 12. Dave Flanagan has the momentum though, two classy birdies in a row to hold at +4, while Kevin Coen is sitting at +11 after a par on 11 followed by a scratch on 12. Big swings in fortunes, and you can feel the fight in this group.
• Nick Dougherty 13:11, 6 September 2026

  Alright, Mike Rockall steps onto the 12th and finds par—that’s a solid, steady moment with him sitting in second place.

  There’s a clear downward trend to his round too, and after that score, you can feel the momentum. He’s holding his nerve and keeping the pressure on.
• Ewen Murray 12:48, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall steps up for Hole 10 and gets it done at par—a calm, steady response when the pressure’s starting to tighten.

  He stays 3rd on the leaderboard with 18 points, and the round is still on a declining trend. You can feel it: he’s not panicking, he’s managing.

  Current score snapshot (Mike Rockall sits 2nd on +2 after 9; course form suggests a lively back nine ahead).

  1) Oisin O’Malley — 6/4

  2) Mike Rockall — 9/4

  3) Evan O’Keeffe — 9/2

  4) Brendan Considine — 11/1

  5) Danny Finn — 14/1

  How I think it finishes: O’Malley has the edge early and looks like the one to just keep stacking pars. Rockall is right there—one bogey already doesn’t bite too hard—but if that declining round trend turns into a few steady holes, he can nick it. Closest pursuers are O’Keeffe and the Considine crew, but it’s hard to see past O’Malley with the pace he’s setting.
• Nick Dougherty 12:32, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall has just tapped in for a bogey on Hole 9, and it’s kept him in the mix—he’s 2nd right now with +2 as the pressure starts to build.

  That declining round trend’s doing him favours: he’s still steady enough to take advantage when the course gives him a chance. One more hole like that and he’ll be back asking questions at the top.
• Ewen Murray 12:18, 6 September 2026

  Mike Rockall steps up on Hole 8 and holds it to par—a steady response under pressure. With his +1 tally now, he moves into the 2nd spot on the leaderboard, sitting at 15 points, and you can see the round trend is turning nicely—this is shaping up as a proper climb.
• Nick Dougherty 12:03, 6 September 2026

  What a tidy way to move along, and Mike Rockall keeps it steady on Hole 7 with a par.

  He’s still perched up in 1st place with 13 points, and the round’s clearly improving—that’s the key right now. No drama, just control.
• Nick Dougherty 11:52, 6 September 2026

  Oh, that’s a beauty from Mike Rockall on the 6th! He’s landed a birdie to move to 2nd, stacking up 11 points along the way. With the round trending the right way, it’s that kind of momentum that can really settle a player in—strike it, trust it, and the numbers start to drop.
• Paul McGinley 11:52, 6 September 2026

  Rivalry Update: Mike Rockall is turning it into a statement again—he’s 2nd on the leaderboard and just popped a birdie on Hole 6 to push his round total to 11 points.

  This is where rivalries get loud: Rockall’s improving trend is tightening the noose—every time the other player tries to gain momentum, Rockall answers with a strike from the fairway to the greens.

  Next key moment: If he keeps that momentum into the back half, this rivalry shifts from “close” to “control.”
• Dan Rapaport 10:39, 6 September 2026

  Alright, folks, Mike Rockall is sitting 3rd and—let me tell you—there’s already whispering going around the range that he’s been quietly tweaking his setup in a way that only the late-night clubhouse crowd will notice. Sources say he’s been working a touch more with his lower body on the takeaway, trying to keep the clubface from “waving hello” at impact, and if that’s true, it’s the kind of small adjustment that can absolutely jump you up the leaderboard fast. The best part? His caddie’s been switching between two different feels depending on wind, like they’re playing a different course out there—so if Rockall keeps finding fairways, don’t be surprised if the gossip turns into momentum.
