Narrative:
It was my 7th crosswind landing in 2 days. [First day]; I logged 3 landings. On that day; my last landing of the day was at ZZZ runway xy. The winds were about 330 at 10 with gusts to 16.[second day]; I departed ZZZ and headed to ZZZ1. I performed 3 touch and goes on runway xx and headed back to ZZZ for a full stop landing. There was still a strong left crosswind. It was a stabilized right traffic approach to runway xy at ZZZ. I was at about 60 knots crossing the threshold of runway xy. I was holding left wing low into the left crosswind and right rudder to keep the plane along the centerline of the runway. I entered the flare and the mains touched down about 2 seconds after the stall horn started sounding. I held the nose off a couple of seconds as the plane slowed down with the throttle closed. Right when the nose wheel touched down; a gust quickly lifted the left wing. It caused me to swerve to the left. Then; it felt as though I was pushed from behind and the tail lifted; for an instant I thought the plane would flip over. I was able to regain control and continue the rollout. I was left of the centerline during the rollout after the recovery. I exited the runway at the next taxiway. I did not feel the prop hit the pavement. I thought I had a close call upset and had recovered; but I realized the prop hit when I shut the engine down at the hanger and saw the bent tips. I logged 1.5 hours during the flight.I discussed the incident with my flight instructor of over 30 years. He told me he had called the tower after the incident and said there was a wind reversal around the time of my landing which may have changed the left crosswind into a left tailwind maybe contributing to the sensation of being pushed from behind; or at least; increased the severity of the angle of the crosswind. Contributing may be that runway xz/xa was closed at ZZZ.
