MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Walking off the final green at Tennessee National Golf Club, Payne Denman couldn't help but be frustrated.
The Middle Tennessee Men's Golf Assistant Coach had done more than fine in the first round of the 2024 Tennessee Amateur, shooting a two-under par 70 in his first 18 holes, setting himself in position to not only make the cut, but contend for the title heading into the next three rounds. But when you four-putt your last hole of the day, that tends to linger with you as you walk off the course.
