To easily identify the child as a "Safe-Tee Kid," he/she will receive a brightly colored wristband labeled "Quail Hollow Championship Safe-Tee Kid."

If a child is lost he/she should immediately locate an Event Ambassador dressed in a tournament uniform (tournament shirt with the Championship logo, beige pants/shorts, and an official credential), who will then accompany the child back to the Main Information Services Tent, where the parent and child can be reunited.

When these warnings appear, spectators should take precautions and seek shelter, even before play is suspended. If the siren sounds suspending play, seek shelter immediately. The electronic scoreboards will keep spectators advised of the length of delay in play.

In the event of severe weather and lightning, avoid the following areas:

• Bleachers
