The pilot was landing on runway 13 with winds varying from 180 to 220 degrees at 10 to 15 knots. According to the pilot the airplane was pushed to the right during the landing roll. He applied left rudder to no avail. He then 'reverted to driving a car and turned the wheel to the left.' The airplane lifted off the runway with the left wing contacting the surface followed by the nose gear and the propeller. The nose gear separated and the airplane nosed over in the grass off the left side of the runway.
