Narrative:
[At the] destination of a 2 day trip from ma; overnight in il; lunch stop in ks... 2-2.5 hour legs. VMC; skc; light to no wind; 4 on board (3 passengers). Cleared to land number 2 after B757 taking off. Made a wide turn planning 2 minutes before touchdown (wide turn also suggested by tower). On flare out and touchdown a gust raised left wing causing plane to turn sharply right heading for runway side light. I was able to regain control and stop safely; but missed going off the side of the runway by about 5 ft. Later; passenger in right seat indicated that it was actually 1.5 minutes after the B757 takeoff. My conclusion: bad judgment on rushing the final approach. [I] didn't keep an eye on the clock to ensure the 2-minute buffer. [I had] probably a bit of finally-got-there-itis. Probably should have left extra time due to calm conditions.
