CHARLOTTE, N.C. --?Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton wasnt in the mood on Wednesday to talk about helmet-to-helmet hits, fines, the concussion protocol or anything that had to do with last weeks 21-20 loss to Denver.We are dwelling on something I dont want to dwell on the NFL MVP said as he looked ahead to Sundays home opener. My focus is the?San Francisco 49ers defense and the team that shut out the Los Angeles Rams. I gain nothing ... talking about the past.The NFL is going to do their investigation and I know wholeheartedly that [head athletic trainer] Ryan Vermillion and his staff did an exceptional job of protecting me along with other players. My focus is trying to win football games through all of the hits and everything else. My job is to collect wins.That was Newtons response to almost every question about what happened at Denver, including the fines the NFL gave to Denver safety Darian Stewart and linebacker Brandon Marshall for illegal helmet-to-helmet hits.Stewart was fined $18,231 for his hit in the final minute that left Newton facedown in the grass while teammates and officials ran over to check on him.Marshall was fined $24,309 for a third-quarter hit even though a flag wasnt thrown.Two other helmet-to-helmet hits on Newton didnt draw a fine or a penalty.Newton didnt have an opinion either way.My job is to win football games for the Carolina Panthers, and thats all Im trying to do, he said. Im not trying to be a lawyer or trying to lobby for this person or that person. Everybody has a job to do from refs to the commissioner to head coach to general managers.But my job as a quarterback is dissect the San Francisco 49ers defense this week and make sure the Carolina Panthers fans are happy at the end of Sunday.Newtons teammates havent been so quiet. Several have said officials treat their quarterback unfairly when it comes to such hits.Hes treated like a running back -- and hes not, Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen said Monday. They say, Oh, but he runs the ball so much. Every single one of those times [he had a helmet-to-helmet hit] he was playing quarterback.I dont give a s--- if he ran the ball 10 plays in a row as a running back. When he is a passer, he is a passer. Period.Carolina center Ryan Kalil said Tuesday on SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio that the NFL has got to do a better job at protecting quarterbacks.If they are going to sit in there, in the offseason especially, and have these rally cries about player safety, player safety, but theyre not going to do anything about it on the field, then it is just lip service, Kalil said.Kalil said on Wednesday the answer is full-time officials.Its absurd to me that as much money as there is in this sport, and as much that is on the line, that these guys are not full time, he said. I dont think it is fair to the game, I dont think it is fair to the refs.Carolina coach Ron Rivera said Newton doesnt get the benefit of calls because at 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds, hes bigger than most quarterbacks and because he runs so much in the read-option offense.Newton ran 11 times against Denver.Theres a little bit of prejudice to that, Rivera said last week. Its kind of like what happened to [former NBA star] Shaquille ONeal. Heres a big, physical basketball player and he goes to set a pick, a guy falls down and they call a foul on him. He goes to shoot a little layup and gets hacked and hammered and they dont call it.Rivera said Newton looked good in Wednesdays practice. Newton said he felt unbelievable six days after being hit 17 times -- the second-most of his career -- on runs, sacks and passes.From his viewpoint, the referees and officials did everything they were supposed to throughout the game as it pertained to checking for a concussion.I was asked on the sideline about awareness and my ability to keep going from the referee, as well as the training staff, Newton said. There is no doubt that everything will work out in itself. There is no question that I took a couple of hits to the head, but I dont think I showed any signs of being concussed.It was no wooziness. ... I understand I was kind of hurt, but that comes with football and it being a contact sport.Mike Williams Youth Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.

That putt saw her win on 21 under to record the lowest 72-round ever in a mens or womens major.It was the 22-year-old South Koreans second major after winning last years womens U.S. Open.Given her lead over countrywomen Sung Hyun Park and So Yeon Ryu, victory was effectively assured as Chun approached the 18th tee. But it looked like she might miss the record lowest score when her tee shot flew into the left rough.After chatting to her caddie, she chose the safe option and used a wedge to chop her way onto the fairway, about 95 yards from the pin.Then, Chun glided her ball over the water magnificently to give herself a shot at history. But the short walk to the green felt like an eternity.I was so nervous, Chun said. So my caddie David Jones told me `if you make the par, I buy the dinner.Jones might regret it when he sees the bill.I can pick any expensive one, said a smiling Chun, who broke the record of 20 under co-held by Henrik Stenson and Jason Day, and also bettered the womens record by two.She led from start to finish, although she did share the first-round lead with Park -- who finished four shots back in a tie for second with Ryu.Shanshan Feng, Chinas only major winner, was six shots back in fourth place, with South Korean Sei Young Kim posting an impressive 65 to move up to fifth ahead of countrywoman I.K. Kim.Chun finished the day with a 2-under 69, the most modest of her four rounds. Not that it took anything away from her achievement.I just cannot believe I won the Evian Championship and made 21 under par, Chun said moments after her win as she clutched the trophy. Im not dreaming right?Some difference from last year, when she missed the cut here at Evian Ressort.dddddddddddd In 2014 she tied for 65th.Over four days of intensely accurate driving and clinical putting, she was near-faultless this time. Her only significant blemish was a double bogey on the ninth hole in the third round -- and even then she limited the damage having opted for a two-stroke penalty.There was one bogey on Sunday, on the 14th, but Chun made a birdie on the next to move back to 21 under and almost added another birdie on the 16th, with her attempt stopping just short.Chun is the only the second player in LPGA history to have her first two LPGA wins come at majors. The other was countrywoman Se Ri Pak in 1998.After making her record-breaking putt, Chun raised both arms in the air.I think shes an amazing ambassador for the womens game, said Lydia Ko, the defending Evian champion. You can kind of see that from her personality.It was a tournament to forget for Ko.Chasing her third major, the 19-year-old New Zealander finished in a tie for 43rd at 2 over.She did enough, however, to win the third edition of the Rolex Annika Major Award -- rewarding the player with the best combined record at all five majors and named after 10-time major winner Annika Sorenstam.For (Sorenstam) to be here and for her to be able to present the trophy to me makes it even more special, Ko said.Ko won the ANA Inspiration in April, where Chun was tied for second.That tournament was Chuns first start after a month out with a back injury caused in bizarre circumstances. She was struck by a hard-case suitcase that rival South Korean player Ha Na Jangs father dropped down an escalator at the Singapore airport.I was struggling, between the injury and my body and psychological problems, Chun said through a translator. It was an inner struggle, and it was going around and around, so it was difficult for me to get out of that situation. ' ' '
