His first British win was in the Malden Invitation Tournament in late 1937 where he beat Alf Padgham 5&4 in the 18-hole final. The tournament was contested by 16 invited players over two days. The following year he was one of the runners-up in the News Chronicle Tournament at East Brighton Golf Club, two shots behind Reg Whitcombe.
He was particularly successful in the Dutch Open, winning the event in 1948 and 1952 and being a runner-up three times before the war.
At the age of 46, Denny won the 1955 Spalding Tournament at Moor Park Golf Club by one stroke from Eric Lester, his first important win in Britain.
