Jul. 25, 2011 By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM Site Producer Sean Foley used to be Sean O'Hair's coach, but the two went their separate ways in early May. That didn't stop Foley from feeling nervous at his Orlando house on Sunday. Even though he no longer works with O'Hair, Foley was still pulling for his friend at the RBC Canadian Open. When O'Hair beat Kris Blanks in the first playoff hole, no one was more happy than his ex-coach. "I'm so pleased for him," Foley said. "It just goes to show with players at this level it doesn't matter who coaches them or helps them out, they are the talent and Sean was fantastic last week. "He is my friend and I just tried not to bite my nails off." Ironically, it was in 2008 in Canada that Foley began working with O'Hair. During their time together, O'Hair won two events and played for the U.S. team in the 2009 Presidents Cup. But after missing five consecutive cuts earlier this year, O'Hair decided he needed a change. Having split up with caddie Brennan Little a few weeks earlier, O'Hair continued the shake-up by saying goodbye to Foley and getting back with Steve Dahlby, who has coached O'Hair "on and off since I was about 11 or 12 years old." "I don't think I'd be here without Sean Foley." -- Sean O'Hair With Dahlby's help, O'Hair rebuilt his swing, working on the setup and "trying to coil a little better" on the backswing." The changes briefly revitalized O'Hair, as he posted consecutive top-20 finishes. But then, he missed the cut in four of his next five starts, including the British Open. On Wednesday, after playing poorly in the pro-am, O'Hair felt he had reached the low point of his year. Four days later, he won his fourth career PGA TOUR event. Go figure. Afterwards, O'Hair didn't forget the people who had helped get him there -- including Foley. Even though they no longer have a working relationship, they have a mutual respect for each other and remain friends. "I don't think I'd be here without Sean Foley," O'Hair said. "Sean really helped me learn about myself and about my game. He took me a long way in a short period of time. I learned a lot with him. "It was time to make a change, and really it's that simple. We're still close friends. We still chat quite a bit." After Sunday's win, O'Hair definitely has a lot to talk about
