Human Factors; Weather
Weather: wind 190 at 12 gusting 19; 10 miles; clear; temperature 29 degrees C. I maintained centerline during wheel landing and as I was lowering tail wheel the aircraft started to slowly drift to the right. I started a missed approach and aircraft failed to adequately climb and started drifting to the left. I corrected with full control inputs and I continued to fly the aircraft to centerline of runway and touched down midfield of the runway. Despite the aileron and rudder inputs; the aircraft ground looped.
Citabria pilot reported a gust of wind during landing caused the aircraft ground loop.
