question mark

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature. However, won't the H attached to O form a hydrogen bond with the F at ortho-position resulting in a less acidic nature than p-fluorophenol?
