EDDIE Pepperell struggled to repeat his past two year’s form in the Spanish Amateur Championship at La Canada.

The 19-year-old Drayton Park member, from Abingdon, failed to reach the knockout stages after finishing joint 81st in qualifying.

Pepperell carded rounds of 75 and 79 for a 12-over-par total of 154, which put him seven shots off a place in the last 32.

Last year, Pepperell was knocked out in the quarter-finals, while he made the last four in 2008.

As a result, the England international dropped 14 places to 255 in the World Amateur Rankings.

Pepperell finished 21st in February’s Portuguese Amateur Championship.
