Bruce M. Keyter is a South African professional golfer.

Career

Keyter won the Natal Open as an amateur in 1954. He also won the 1955 South African Amateur Championship.[1]

In 1955, he turned professional. Keyter began his career as an assistant professional at Royal Durban Country Club.[2] His first victory as a pro was at the 1956 Transvaal Open where he defeated South African legend Bobby Locke by a shot. It was a surprising victory; Australia's The Argus noted that it was Locke's first defeat in a big South African tournament in 20 years.[2] Two months later, in April, Keyter was runner-up to Gary Player in the South African Open.[3] A year later, in 1957, he won the Natal Open.

In 1963, Keyter won what was arguably the biggest win of his career at the South African Masters, a triple crown event. He shot 291 (−9) to win by three over Terry Westbrook, Harold Inggs, and Eric Moore.[4] In December, he was runner-up in the South African Open for the second time, two strokes behind Allan Henning.[5]
