Devon's Jimmy Mullen, who made the cut at The Open, has been eliminated from the English Amateur Championship after losing in the first round of matchplay.
Mullen lost 3&1 to Nathan Kimsey after coming through two rounds of strokeplay to make the matchplay stages.
Fellow Devon golfer David Ashley made the last 32 after beating Paul Howard 2&1 at Frilford Heath Golf Club.
But he came unstuck as he lost a tight battle with Chris Halley on the 22nd hole in the following round.
