Narrative:
We were cleared visual approach to 9R at ord. The ILS was tuned and showed intermittent flags. On short final and lined up with the runway, the GPWS gave 'GS' warning when we were actually slightly high. This was the crew's first flight to ord so we chose to go around and get a vector from tower. Tower confirmed our alignment with 9R and we landed without further incident.
