Nelly Korda, the world’s number one women’s golfer, had to withdraw from the Aramco-sponsored Ladies European Tour event in London next week after being bitten by a dog. Korda was scheduled to defend her title at the Centurion Club in Hemel Hempstead from July 3-5 but announced her inability to play on Instagram. She mentioned that she was bitten by a dog in Seattle and needed time to receive treatment and fully recover.
Korda apologized for her absence to the LET, sponsors, and fans, thanked them for their understanding, and expressed her eagerness to return to the course soon. The 25-year-old American had won six times in seven starts earlier in the season but has missed the cut in her last three events, including a disastrous score of 10 on the par-3 12th hole during her opening round at the US Women’s Open, followed by an 80 and an 81 in subsequent events.
Despite these struggles, Korda is determined to get back on track and compete at her best. Her next scheduled tournament is the Amundi Evian Championship in France from July 11-14. Additionally, she is set to represent the United States at the Paris Olympics this summer from August 7-10. With hard work and dedication, Korda hopes to overcome this rough patch and become one of the top golfers once again.
In summary, due to a dog bite that required treatment and recovery time, Nelly Korda had to withdraw from an upcoming Ladies European Tour event in London. Despite recent struggles with missed cuts and poor scores, she remains determined to regain form and compete at major tournaments such as The Amundi Evian Championship and The Paris Olympics.
