Draw first turn, that is (3)
I believe the answer is:
tie
'draw' is the definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)
'turn that is' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 't' (abbreviation in Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
't'+'ie'='TIE'
'first' is the link.
(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Bind with a cord" , "hamper" , "sports match" , "Knot; limit" , "Lace" .)
