Jack Nicklaus to light Empire State Building

Posted at 6:18 PM by David Dusek | Categories: Jack Nicklaus , U.S. Open

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – First King Kong climbed it, now the Golden Bear is going to light it up.

On Wednesday evening in Manhattan, Jack Nicklaus will flip the switch and turn on the lights at the top of the 1,454-foot Empire State Building. In celebration of the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage, the top of the most famous building in New York will be cast in red, white and blue lights.
