Charlotte, NC (May 3, 2009)…With a three-under par 69 in Sunday's final round of The Quail Hollow Championship, former Hooters Tour member Sean O’Hair captured his third title (picture left courtesy of Halleran/Getty Images).
 
O’Hair fired rounds of 69-72-67-69 for a four day total of eleven-under par 277 and one stroke victory over former Hooters Tour players Bubba Watson and Lucas Glover.
 
"Losing (stunk) at Bay Hill," O'Hair said. "Even though it's tough to lose like that, to lose a five-shot lead against Tiger, you still learn from it. I talked to my coach. I talked to my caddie, Paul (Tesori). And we just all said all I have to do is keep putting myself in those situations, and at some point I'm going to learn how to win. It's just nice to win as quickly as I did after Bay Hill." 
 
O’Hair played the Hooters Tour in 2001, playing six events and making the cut in two of them. His best finish was a T-42 in Hawkinsville, Georgia.
