World No.1 Nelly Korda is back in action this week at the fourth Major of the year, the Evian Championship, after suffering an injury from a dog bite.
Korda missed her title defense at the Aramco Team Series last week, saying she needed time to recover after getting “bitten by a dog”.
"I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next week's Ladies European Tour tournament in London," Korda wrote on Instagram last month.
"On Saturday in Seattle, I was bitten by a dog and need time to receive treatment and recover fully."
Alison Lee, who suffered a serious dog bite in January that left her in hospital for three days, said Korda reached out to her for advice.
“She asked me a lot about what my symptoms were when I got my dog bite,” Lee said at last week’s event at The Centurion Club.
"My dog bite got seriously infected, so I was actually hospitalized for three days. But yeah, it's an unfortunate circumstance and definitely scary. She got bitten by a dog that she didn't know, it was just at a random coffee shop. I am hoping for a speedy recovery for her.”
Korda appears to have fully recovered and is in France preparing for the Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club this week.
The 25-year-old started her season with a stunning six wins in eight starts, but has since missed three consecutive cuts, including the US Women's Open and the Women's PGA Championship, where she shot a nine-over 81 in her second round after starting the day near the top of the leaderboard.
The two-time Major winner has yet to win the Evian, but finished in the top 10 in her previous two appearances at the event.
