An opening round of 73 followed by a second round of 70 gave Cameron a one under par total of 143, which saw him comfortably qualify for the matchplay stages in sixth place overall.
Unfortunately Cameron's title bid was ended in the first round of the matchplay on Thursday morning, when he lost out on the final green, beaten by two holes by England's Andrew Haswell (Ormskirk).
The cut for the matchplay stages fell at 10 over par, showing how difficult the course and conditions were during qualifying, and indicating just how good Cameron's effort in qualifying was.
Ayrshire's only other representative in the championship, Ruben Lindsay (Turnberry) missed out on qualification for the matchplay stages after rounds of 80 and 81 left him on 17 over par, seven adrift of the qualifying mark.
In the Girls' Amateur Championship, being held at Fulford, Ayrshire's only representative, Rachel Foster (Prestwick St Nicholas) was on 4 over par in her opening round when she retired from the competition.
