Defending champion Tiger Woods began his campaign for his 13th major victory by shooting a 71 (+1). Other notable scores include: John Daly, currently ranked 423rd in the world, shooting a 67 (−3); Brad Lardon shot the best round of the day among those who qualified for the tournament through the PGA Professional National Championship by shooting an even-par 70; U.S. Open champion Ángel Cabrera shot a disappointing 81 (+11), largely due to a septuple-bogey 10 on the par 3 6th hole; Retief Goosen, the last major champion at Southern Hills (2001 U.S. Open), shot an even-par 70 including an eagle and a double-bogey. The scoring average for the round was 74.29 (+4.29) with 12 players under par. The par 4 18th hole ranked the toughest with a scoring average of 4.49 (+0.49).

The feat had been previously accomplished 22 times by 20 other players, and also tied the course record set by Raymond Floyd in the 1982 PGA Championship. His birdie putt on the 18th hole for the record outright horseshoed around the cup but did not fall. Local fan favorite and former Oklahoma State golfer Scott Verplank also had a good round with a score of 66. The cut was at 145 (+5) and 72 players advanced. Only two PGA club professionals made the cut. Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh were among those who missed the cut. The scoring average for the round was 72.80 (+2.80) with 24 players under par for the round.

He led by as many as five strokes in the third and fourth rounds. However, his bogey on the 14th hole, coupled with Woody Austin's third consecutive birdie at the 13th, whittled Woods' lead down to a single stroke. Woods rebounded, however, with a birdie on the 15th hole, and then parred in to claim the championship. Simon Dyson shot the low round of the day with a 64 (−6). The scoring average for the round was 71.82 (+1.82) with 16 players under par for the round. +Final Leaderboard https://web.archive.org/web/20070815212741/http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/2007/scoring/index2.html 2007-08-15 PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 USA Tiger Woods 71-63-69-69=272 −8 1,260,0002 USA Woody Austin 68-70-69-67=274 −6 756,0003 RSA Ernie Els 72-68-69-66=275 −5 476,000T4 USA Arron Oberholser 68-72-70-69=279 −1 308,000 AUS John Senden 69-70-69-71=279T6 ENG Simon Dyson 73-71-72-64=280 E 227,500 RSA Trevor Immelman 75-70-66-69=280 AUS Geoff Ogilvy 69-68-74-69=280T9 USA Kevin Sutherland 73-69-68-71=281 +1 170,333 USA Scott Verplank 70-66-74-71=281 USA Boo Weekley 76-69-65-71=281 Scorecard Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 101112131415161718Par444453434 434534444 USA Woods −7 −6 −6 −7 −7 −7 −8 −9 −8 −8 −8 −8 −8 −7 −8 −8 −8 −8 USA Austin −3 −3 −4 −4 −4 −4 −3 −3 −3 −3 −4 −5 −6 −6 −6 −6 −6 −6 RSA Els −1 −1 −2 −2 −3 −3 −3 −4 −4 −5 −5 −4 −5 −6 −6 −5 −5 −5 USA Oberholser +1 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +1 +1 +1 E E −1 −1 −1 −1 −1 −1 AUS Senden −1 E +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +2 +2 +1 E E −1 −1 −1 −1 CAN Ames −3 −2 −3 −3 −2 −2 −2 −2 −1 −1 −1 E +1 +2 +3 +3 +2 +2 Cumulative tournament scores, relative to par Double Eagle Eagle -->BirdieBogey Source:https://www.espn.com/golf/leaderboard?tournamentId=322 ESPN PGA Championship August 10, 2015 Television Television coverage in the United States was provided by TNT and CBS.
