Fun question, here's my best scenario:
1. Tiger plays well for first three rounds; but he is not leading after third round.
2. On Sunday, the wind is terrible, very strong.
3. After thrid round, the leaders are all top 20 in OWGR.
4. Tiger shoots a low final round, in strong winds and wins going away.
It would stop the comment - "he's never come from behind", they would admit that he beat the best, and he handled the bad conditions.
