Narrative:During landing, as the tail wheel touched down, the aircraft began to drift to the left. The pilot applied right rudder and then right wheel brake in an attempt to correct the drift. The aircraft then ground looped to the right and the left wing contacted the runway. Postcrash examination of the left wheel brake and tail wheel steering showed no evidence of mechanical failure or malfunction.
Probable Cause: The pilot's excessive use of right wheel brake to correct for a left drift during landing rollout resulting in a ground loop to the right and the left wing contacting the runway.
