Trumbull Brothers Give Signature Tips at the Travelers Championship

Trumbull brothers Nick and Evan say there's a strategy to getting an autograph.

It was an exciting day at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell Wednesday as pro golfers, celebrities and fans hit the green.

The biggest names in golf will tee off in the first round of the Travelers Championship Thursday, but Wednesday was all about having some fun for the Celebrity Pro-Am.

Two Trumbull brothers collected lots of signatures of pro players throughout the day.

This is their second year attending the event, so they have mastered the art of getting an autograph.

“You’ve got to know their tee times, where they’re going to be and you’ve got to be kind to them. Respectfully ask them and use their last names and say ‘Mr.’ and you’ll always get a signature,” 13-year-old Nick said.

Both Nick and Evan got signatures from pro-golfers including Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson and Tony Finau.

The brothers plan to showcase their signed hats in their basement when they get home.
