Narrative:
I took off from ZZZ airport after 3 successful patterns including 3 takeoffs and 3 landings at ZZZ; then I flew in the area within 25 miles for about 30 minutes and then landed at ZZZ1 airport; took off from ZZZ1 and arrived back at ZZZ. Everything looked fine; but upon landing on runway X; I was about 2 feet above ground and gusting wind suddenly blew me off the runway to the left. I applied power to do a go-around but did not help; the airplane landed on the grass and rolled. The nose wheel hit something and broke off and the nose and propeller hit the ground.
