You *own* the material. You've given the public a license (the OGL) to use some of it under a certain set of conditions. But that in no way impacts your ability to do whatever else you want with it, including publishing your own, closed, supplements.
Now, if a third-party company comes along and produces a supplement for your game under the OGL, and you want to use their rules, you must then use the OGL yourself. That third party has licensed their material back to you under those terms. But anything you derive directly from material you created is yours.
