Closes in on (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nears

'closes in on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nears that I've seen before include "Moves closer to" , "Uses snare to get closer" , "Bears down" , "Becomes closer" , "Saner (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, the LA Times, the Newsday and The Wall Street Journal.
