Nelly Korda out of tournament after being bitten by dog

World number one Nelly Korda has withdrawn from next week's Aramco Team Series event in Hemel Hempstead after being bitten by a dog.

Korda was due to defend her title at the Centurion Club from 3 to 5 July, but has announced she would be unable to play.

The 25-year-old American, who won six times in seven starts earlier this season but has missed the cut in her last three events, wrote on Instagram: "I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next week's Ladies European Tour tournament in London.

"On Saturday in Seattle, I was bitten by a dog and need time to receive treatment and recover fully.

"I apologise to the LET, the sponsors and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to returning to the course soon."
