Narrative:
On landing with slight crosswind, I touched down normally on the main wheels. I then lowered the tailwheel to the runway, probably prematurely, and the aircraft veered to the right. I attempted to correct with left rudder and act then veered to the left and eventually departed the runway on the left. Gear collapsed, resulting in aircraft damage. No one was injured.
