During the tailwheel-equipped airplane's landing rollout, the pilot felt a gust of wind come from the right and to the rear. The right wing was lifted off the ground, and the pilot attempted to compensate by applying right aileron and left brake. The airplane continued to ground-loop to the right, pivoting on the left main landing gear until it collapsed. Winds were from the right, at less than 6 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane which resulted in the inadvertent ground loop.
