Herman Keiser

1914–2003 (age 89)

American professional golfer

Biography

Herman Keiser's calm presence on the golf course belied the intensity he brought to every round. Born in 1914, he rose through the amateur ranks with a steady short game that culminated in the 1946 Masters Tournament, when he captured the green jacket and the admiration of fellow competitors for his unassuming demeanor.

In the decades after his playing days, he settled in the Lakewood area, offering guidance to young golfers and sharing stories about Augusta while remaining a devoted husband and father. His quiet leadership and generous spirit made Lakewood Cemetery a fitting place for his final rest, where family and friends continue to remember his love of the game.
