Framingham deputy fire chief calls for more lifeguards, caution after teen drowns
After a teenage boy died after being pulled from a pond in Framingham on Sunday, the city's deputy fire chief says more lifeguards are needed. The city said no lifeguards were on duty at the time of the drowning incident due to a shortage of lifeguards. On Sunday, four bathhouse attendants were at the beach, and the two who were certified lifeguards were able to help first responders. Framingham Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Sullivan said there is a shortage of lifeguards across the state and especially in Framingham, where all its beaches are packed with beachgoers every weekend. "For staffing, lifeguards are hard to come by. So, there's always staff on duty. Not all of them are trained lifeguards, but they do their best to fulfill those positions as much as they can," Sullivan said. Irene from Framingham fought back tears as she remembered the 16-year-old boy fighting for his life at Learned Pond Beach on Sunday. "I just see the arms up and down up and down and the daddy, 'Help me, help me, help me!" Irene said. Fire officials said the teen drowned shortly after 3 p.m. A diver went into the water. The teen's body was found about 30 yards from the shore. He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. Sullivan said he was one of the first to respond to the scene. "He had family with him who were watching him, but it just got to a point where he got too deep and wasn't able to come back," Sullivan said. And when it comes to water safety, Sullivan said, families need to be aware of where their kids are at all times. "Water can be extremely deceiving - distances, depths. Making sure you are swimming within your capabilities and marked areas. If you don't know how to swim, don't go above your waist. Always stay close to the shore; make sure you have somebody with you," Sullivan said. Caution is something Lais DeOliveira practices when she's at the beach. "When water goes above my chest or under my chin, I know its too deep so I pull up," she said. Learned Pond Beach is set to re-open this weekend

Peerless Scheffler conquers Portrush to claim a first Claret Jug
Scottie Scheffler started the final round of this Open Championship four shots in front and closed it out four in front. Not one of the chasing pack managed to get any closer than that as the American claimed the Claret Jug for the first time with a steady 68. This was golf as procession not drama. 'What's the point?' Scheffler had asked rhetorically prior to this tournament as he tried to explain how his love for golf was a distant second to his love for family. What's the point? The field of 155 other players must be saying the same. Scheffler wasn't perfect. He isn't that good, but the best player in the world has an uncanny ability to limit damage and rebound from it. Add in the fact that he was the best putter in Antrim this week and he was always going to be hard to beat. All the more remarkable then that he was asked about a slump last Tuesday. Some slump. That's two majors he's landed now in 2025, two other tournament wins, 12 more top tens. His worst effort this year? A tie for 25th at the WM Phoenix Open in February. Hopes of a dramatic chase and possible showdown here were never rooted in reality. The calm and dry conditions were perfect for the leader to just keep doing what he was doing. The onus was on everyone else to go crazy and threaten something along the lines of a course record 63. People did go low, but not nearly that low. None of Scheffler's nearest challengers were better than one-under for the day through his own first hour on the course. The best rounds were being put together then by Bryson DeChambeau, Shane Lowry and Rickie Fowler who started so much further down the ladder. Scheffler had started the day with that four-shot buffer on Haotong Li, five on Matt Fitzpatrick and six on Rory McIlroy. It needed someone, preferably McIlroy, to catch fire and put some pressure on a man who plays with all the emotion of an automaton. McIlroy had threatened out the gate on Saturday with three birdies in his first four holes but couldn't do it again. He had to settle for a two-under 69 that left him on ten-under alongside last year's champion Xander Schauffele and Robert MacIntyre. Seven behind the winner. It was Scheffler who turned the screw from the off with a superb approach to the first green to within two feet. The putt for birdie was drained and there were two more shots picked up inside the first five holes. Now he was eight in front. It felt even then like a case of goodnight Irene. There was one wobble. The American needed putts of 16- and 15-feet to save pars on the 6th and 7th and then came the glimpse of mortality when he couldn't escape first time from a fairway bunker on the 8th and carded a double bogey. With Chris Gotterup, winner of last week's Genesis Scottish Open, reaching 11-under at that point the gap was now down to four. It was a fleeting flurry of excitement on a day when none of the chasing pack could maintain momentum. McIlroy's bid had its fits and starts but hit the bricks on the 10th when he sent a flyer from rough past the green, needed two chips to find the putting surface and couldn't land the bogey. Two shots gone, miles adrift. Others were playing their own games of snakes and ladders. Gotterup slipped back to minus-10 then made it to 12. Four behind again. Li got to 11, regressed to 10 and returned to eleven all in the space of three holes midway through the round. Harris English carded eagle on 13 but only after a bogey before it. He stayed the course more than anyone with a 66 to finish 13-under and on his own in second. No-one was moving at enough speed. Li managing a disappointing 70 and Fitzpatrick needing a strong finish to make a 69. And that back nine was eminently gettable. Corey Conners was five-under for it on the day. Lee Westwood had shot 29 for it on Saturday, just like Ryan Fox had on the same course six years before. That's a fourth major for Scheffler now, two Masters, a US PGA and this. All in the space of four years. He already has four top-tens at the US Open in just five attempts and a career grand slam will be on the line when he tees off at Shinnecock Hills next June. This is a man playing on a plateau above the rest right now. McIlroy included.

Are Spain pacing themselves or sleepwalking to a deafening alarm call?
Afterwards, there was an awful lot of messing about. Probably more than you would expect after a briefly absorbing quarter-final whose outcome was never seriously in doubt. The Swiss players performed the world's slowest lap of honour. The Spanish players posed for a group photo, but it kept having to be retaken as more players arrived. OK, now one more with Aitana. Now one more with Irene. Now one with the staff. Now in portrait for the 'gram. Then the teams gave each other an honour guard off the pitch. At one point you would swear someone laid out some picnic blankets and Scotch eggs. Finally they left. And if there was a strangely ceremonial feel to the post-match perhaps it was because there was a strangely ceremonial feel to the match itself: more event than genuine contest, even as Switzerland held out for more than an hour, counted their blessings, fleetingly hoped. But there was always too much time on the clock. There were always Athenea del Castillo and Salma Paralluelo and Vicky López to come on. There was always one more attack to weather, one more shot to block, one more ricochet that had to bounce just right. Did the end vindicate Spain's leisurely means? Certainly they appeared a good deal more relaxed than you might have imagined for a team who hadn't qualified for the last four of this competition since 1997. And you can judge for yourself whether this is a source of reassurance or concern: a team imperiously pacing themselves, or one sleepwalking towards a deafening alarm call? For now, their supremacy has not been seriously challenged. France or Germany may have bolder ideas. You could even glimpse this languor in the buildup, a stark contrast with the fever and fervour of the host country. 'It is the biggest game ever, it's once in a lifetime,' said Switzerland coach Pia Sundhage. 'We'll have to be very alert,' said Spain's Irene Paredes. 'It's indescribable, it's incredible,' said Switzerland's Noelle Maritz. 'We know this is an important game,' said the Spain coach, Montse Tomé. The Wankdorf is exactly how you would imagine a Swiss football stadium to be: a perfectly rectangular metal box plonked out by the motorway and fitted with comfortable ergonomic seating. But it was ideal for its one real job: noise retention, and for 65 increasingly intriguing minutes Spain too were being boxed in, thwarted, contained, by a home side gradually daring to believe. Mariona Caldentey's early missed penalty set the tone, and though Switzerland were barely able to exit their own territory the game progressed with few other scares. Spain were simply not quick enough, not urgent enough, perhaps even a little dead behind the eyes. Too many aimless diagonals, too many speculative shots from the 20-yard range, and as half-time came and went a kind of simmering frustration, too. Caldentey ended the game without having created a single chance, Aitana Bonmatí just one. Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion But hey, it was a good one. Bonmatí's sublime backheel for Del Castillo's goal was the touch of genius of which she is always capable, the reason you can never sleep on her, the reason you can never sleep on Spain. On the touchline Sundhage stood a little sadly in her trackie top and shorts, looking as ever like a pensioner on the regional news protesting against the closure of her local leisure centre. Tomé, by contrast, was wearing the sort of immaculately tailored suit you see on someone who is about to sell you a very expensive perfume. And the arrival of the bench backup was the cue for Spain to turn on the class. Soon it was two through Clàudia Pina, and although Alexia Putellas's late penalty miss kept the score down, it had long been evident that there would be no second Miracle of Bern. So ends Swiss Girl Summer 2025: a fiesta of packed stadiums and viral dances, last-minute goals and vivid dreams. Swiss television viewing figures on SRF have been staggering, the sort normally associated with Roger Federer in a Wimbledon final. There are new teenage stars to fete in Sydney Schertenleib and Noemi Ivelj and Iman Beney. And the progress of a proudly multicultural squad – half of whom have roots abroad – has captivated a nation bearing the same fraught relationship with immigration that you seem to find everywhere these days. So you can understand why they wanted to enjoy their moment. They lingered, they unfurled a thank-you banner to the fans, they beamed and waved, soaking up the last of this joy, the last of this shared energy. In many ways this was the easy part: the hard bit comes now, the tough and thorny and thankless work of actually building a sport in the foothills. The window of opportunity has closed for now. But with a little care and a little love, the light can still get in.
