Narrative:
While landing on runway 3; after touchdown which was normal; I encountered a sudden; unexpected gust of wind that swerved the aircraft to the left before I had a chance to correct with right rudder. ATIS was calling wind at 300/12; although the surface winds had been gusty all morning. The aircraft went left off the runway and came to a sudden stop in the farm field mud.the aircraft sustained damage to the prop and; as a result of the strike; required an engine teardown and inspection. I was alone and unhurt and there was no property damage. Contributing cause might have been my low blood sugar causing my slow reaction to using opposite rudder; I had had a light breakfast that morning; but had been waiting all day as maintenance work was being performed.
