ON AUGUST 12, 2020, THE WINDS WERE CALM WITH VFR CONDITIONS.  THE PILOT MADE A THREE (3) POINT LANDING IN THE CONVENTIONAL GEAR AIRCRAFT.  ON ROLLOUT AT ABOUT 20 KNOTS, THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY VEERED RIGHT.  THE PILOT TRIED TO CORRECT.  THE AIRCRAFT MOMENTARILY STARTED TO TURN LEFT, THEN BACK TO THE RIGHT.  THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING AND ENGINE/PROPELLER.
