Slayton wins 2020 Ken-Tenn; large crowd in attendance

John Slayton of Jackson, Tenn., claimed his third victory in this past weekend’s Jasper Vowell Men’s Ken-Tenn Invitational Golf Tournament held at Fulton Country Club.

Slayton shot a 68 on Saturday, followed by a 69 on Sunday, one shot ahead of second place Championship Flight winner, Ron Mangold, who shot a 66 his first day, followed by a 72 on Sunday.

After the front nine on Sunday, Slayton had a two shot lead. Mangold birdied on #13, with Slayton three shots ahead, and then Mangold parred on #14 while Slayton bogeyed on #14.

Slayton maintained a two shot lead into #18, with Mangold then chipping in for Eagle on #18. Slayton then two putted for Birdie to win by one.

“It reminded me a lot of the old Ken-Tenn tournaments,” said Kirk Vowell, referring to the number of spectators on hand throughout the course.

“We had a ton of people, it was unbelievable,” Vowell said.
