Read the full NTSB narrative

The certificated commercial pilot was landing a tailwheel equipped airplane on runway 01L. The wind was reported to be from 283 degrees at 11 knots. The touchdown and beginning of the landing roll were uneventful until the nose of the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot applied right rudder, left aileron, and right brake, but the airplane continued to turn left. The right main gear collapsed, and the right wing struck the runway surface. The pilot said there was no mechanical malfunction of the airplane.
