Came close to (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neared

'came close to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for neared that I've seen before include "Drew closer to" , "Got closer" , "Approached, came close" , "Drew nigh" , "Approached, drew close" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Guardian.
