O'Hair Wins Second Career Tournament
Sean O’Hair won the PODS Championship today as Stewart Cink imploded in the final round. I didn’t watch a whole lot of the round, but it seemed like whenever I looked up at the TV, one of Cink’s tee shots was making a beeline for an oak tree or a hospitality tent. It was tough to watch. If you’ve never heard of O’Hair, read up on him. In a nutshell, his father, Marc, groomed Sean to be a professional golfer from a young age, selling his business to bankroll his training and referring to him during a 60 Minutes segment as his ‘investment’. Marc also signed constricting management contracts with Sean, but Sean effectively cut his father out of his life in 2002. Trust me, if you can find the video of this 60 Minutes segment I referred to above, you’ll see why. Despite –and maybe even a little bit because of – his relationship with his father, Sean is now a two-time winner on the PGA Tour. Good for him.
