Jonathan Caldwell missed out on a place in the last eight of the Amateur championship at Turnberry after being edged out by England's Tommy Fleetwood at the 20th hole this evening.

Caldwell led by one at the turn but was caught coming down the stretch and eventually succumbed at the second extra hole, ending the Irish challenge on the Ayrshire coast.

In this morning's second round, Lurgan's Gareth Shaw had fallen to Jorge Campillo.

Irish Amateur Open champion Pedro Figueiredo, meanwhile, remains on course to become the youngest ever winner after surging into the quarter-finals.

The Portuguese star, who celebrated his 17th birthday last Friday, beat James Abbott by two holes in the morning's second round before sweeping to a 3&2 win over Dale Whitnell in the last 16.

Figueiredo, who won his own national championship in February and the Irish equivalent at Royal Dublin last month, is now four rounds of golf away from seizing the honour of youngest winner from John Beharrell and Sergio Garcia, who were both 18 when they won in 1956 and 1998 respectively.

"I've been competing in the UK and Ireland quite a lot over the past three years and I have gained a lot of experience of this type of golf," said Figueiredo. "I have had a good season so far and my win in Ireland was played out in similar conditions to here so I know what to expect.

"I have played consistently well from tee to green all week and have simply tried to make pars but on a course like this that can often be good enough to win the hole."

Figueiredo, who will now play Holland's Reinier Saxton, was joined in the last eight by Nuneaton's Andrew Sullivan, who claimed a notable scalp in the shape of Walker Cup stalwart Nigel Edwards in the morning before racing to a 5&3 triumph over German Max Kieffer.
