In blistering heat at Adelaide’s The Grange Golf Club on Thursday, Herbert was beaten 3 and 2 by Queensland’s Taylor McDonald.
Herbert and McDonald were team-mates last week as Australia won the World Cup teams event at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Herbert - who will study Year 12 at Bendigo Senior Secondary College this year - earlier finished equal second in the qualifying rounds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Amateur Championships continue until Sunday.
