WACO, Texas -- Baylor sophomore receiver Ishmael Zamora has been suspended for the first three games of the season after a video surfaced of him beating his dog with a belt this summer.Zamora apologized for his actions, saying he was sorry that he took out his frustrations on his dog.This incident will never, ever, happen again, Zamora said in a statement released by the school Tuesday. I truly love my dog, however, I know that my actions showed differently and I know that I made a big mistake. I apologize to my family, teammates, Baylor University and our fans for my actions.When Zamora was listed as a starting receiver on the initial depth chart released Monday, acting head coach Jim Grobe said then that he was waiting for university officials before determining discipline after Waco police charged Zamora with a misdemeanor in the animal abuse case.Grobe said Tuesday that the program does not condone that sort of behavior by anyone, and worked with university officials to hold Zamora accountable for his actions.We have received communications about this incident from many passionate individuals over the past 10 days, and I am aware of their concerns, Grobe said. Our goal is for this discipline to be educational and restorative, and I believe that we have taken corrective measures to help Ishmael learn from his actions and to better understand the behavior we demand of all students at the university.Grobe got the Baylor in May after two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles was suddenly dismissed following the release of a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players. The schools president and athletic director also left after that.Since arriving, Grobe has said players would be held accountable for any off-field issues. He also promised that university officials would be involved in more serious cases, and that no longer would the football coaches and staff solely handle discipline in such instances.Along with the suspension, Zamora will have to perform 40 community service hours in a manner that will teach him kindness and respect toward animals, undergo counseling and give the dog to an animal-friendly home. He will still be able to practice with the team during his suspension, which starts with Friday nights season opener when the 23rd-ranked Bears host Northwestern State.Baylor, a private Baptist school, doesnt normally comment publicly on matter of student discipline, but said Zamora agreed to the release of the information about his punishment.Eventually, I hope that everyone can see who I really am and that I am not a terrible person, Zamora said. This incident does not and will not define me, and I know that I am the one who will have to prove that to others in the days ahead. Custom Nike Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys .

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France -- Tied with Richard Sterne of South Africa in the final round of the French Open, Graeme McDowell didnt blink on the back nine. The Northern Irishman made two of his five birdies on the way home to shoot a 4-under 67 Sunday and capture his ninth European Tour title by four strokes. Sterne, by contrast, made three birdies on the front nine before faltering after the turn with three bogeys to hit a 71 and finish runner-up. "Thankfully Ive managed to learn how to calm my emotions and learn how to respond under pressure, sometimes," McDowell said. "Im starting to become very comfortable under pressure." McDowell won the World Match-Play Championship in May, but missed the cut in his three following tournaments. That could have given rise to doubt on the tough Albatross course of Le Golf National, which will host the Ryder Cup in 2018, but he put that aside to finish in style. "There was no real panic button," McDowell said. "Its been a funny season. Inconsistent, yes. But when its been good, its been really good." Graeme Storm of England, the 2007 winner, and Eduardo De La Riva of Spain shot 69s to share third place, five strokes off the pace. McDowell played solidly throughout the tournament, making only four bogeys in four rounds. In fifth place after the second round, the 2010 U.S. Open champion started believing in his chances on Saturday. "The last 12, 13 holes yesterday, I felt the old juices kind of starting to flow again," McDowell said. "I hit a lot of quality shots coming in yesterday, and I got a lot of belief from that. You know, if the putter had been a little hotter perhaps I could have got my nose in front a little earlier in this tournament." McDowell and Sterne entered the final round with a share of the lead and both broke away from the field by making two birdies for a tthree-shot advantage after five holes.dddddddddddd Sterne won the Joburg Open in South Africa and was the runner-up at the Dubai Desert Classic, both in February. "He really hung in there, played some great golf, and I knew it was not going to be an easy day," McDowell said. "The way he played kind of inspired me to play better, and you know it was a really good battle with him." McDowell missed short birdie putts on Nos. 6, 11 and 14. But the Northern Irishman could rely on his accurate long game. "That was the key really," said McDowell, who led the field in hitting greens. "Short game was tricky around this course. The rough was quite sticky and the greens were quite firm and fast. You had to be very careful to leave the ball on the correct side of the pin, and I hit a lot of greens." Sterne initially got the upper hand when McDowell missed a short par putt on No. 7. But McDowell picked up a shot on No. 10 to draw level with Sterne. He then took sole possession of the lead when the South African sent his tee shot into the thick rough to bogey No. 12. McDowell smiled when he sank a short par putt on No. 16 to increase his lead to two strokes as Sterne sailed 15 feet past the flag from a chip on the edge of the green to make bogey. "Fifteen and 16 were just kind of those lucky breaks that you need when you win tournaments," McDowell said. "Fifteen was an average putt which I thought missed and it went in. Sixteen, I still dont know how that putt went in. It was a right-to-left putt that I was trying to hit right edge and I felt like I started it left edge, and it managed to go in." McDowell rode the momentum with a birdie on No. 17 while Sterne missed a four-foot par putt. After clearing the water hazard on the last, McDowell waved to the crowd on his way to the green with victory just about secured. ' ' '
