The Gloucester-based player suffered a heavy 10-3 defeat to Patrick Whelan in the second qualifying round, held at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield on Thursday night. Milkins fell behind 8-1 after the morning session, and despite his determined effort in the evening—winning the 11th frame on the black and the 12th on the pink—Whelan’s consistent performance secured the match in the following frame.
