Narrative:

After an hour of flying from ZZZ; I was returning to land at ZZZ on runway xx. I had received clearance to land from the tower. I had full flaps extended and my airspeed was indicated at 75 kts. As I approached the flair; the nose dipped a slight bit. I corrected with increasing the back pressure on the yoke slightly and continued to reduce the throttle. As I bled off airspeed and the nose came down contacting the surface; it suddenly pulled to the right; causing the airplane to exit the runway into the grassy area at the intersection of taxiway xx. I was able to get the airplane onto the taxiway and was cleared to proceed to the ramp by the tower. As I taxied the airplane I could feel the airplane pulling to one side. Once the aircraft was shutdown; an inspection of the nose wheel indicated that it had collapsed and the fork brace that held the front wheel was bent to the right (I think).
