On-and-off drizzle Sunday afternoon didn’t cool down Michael Cotton.

Cotton, a 19-year-old sophomore at North Texas, started with a dismal first eight holes, but he finished his last 10 a fiery 8-under par. His 7-under 29 on the back nine propelled him to a victory in the Texas State Amateur Golf Championship.

Cotton finished at 9-under 204, three ahead of Preston Stanley — who like Cotton hails from Katy — and four in front of Lewisville’s Grant Bennett.

Eight holes into Sunday’s final round, Cotton appeared to be falling out of contention. He acknowledged that after shanking his tee shot on the par-3 eighth hole, he “could see it start to slip away.”

“I missed a lot of chances and made a lot of mistakes,” Cotton said. “My dad just kept telling me that he still believes and that I need to believe, so I just hung in there.”
