Nelly Korda diagnosed with blood clot, receiving treatment

Olympic gold medallist Nelly Korda is receiving treatment at home after being diagnosed with a blood clot in her arm.

The 23-year-old American revealed on Twitter that she felt her arm was swelling after she had completed a "typical morning workout".

She added: "At the advice of my doctor, I went to the Emergency Room as a precaution. I was diagnosed with a blood clot.

"I am currently at home getting treatment to eliminate further risks. I will communicate my status as and when there is more information.

"In the meantime, I want to thank everyone for their support and ask for privacy for all our family during this time. I hope to be back soon."

Korda has not played since the LPGA Drive On Championship in early February, opting to skip the LPGA's Asian Swing. She had initially planned to return for the JTBC Classic in Carlsbad, California from 24-27 March.
