Green ties making a comeback (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sward

'green' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ties making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'ties' becomes 'draws' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'tie').
'making a comeback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'draws' back-to-front is 'SWARD'.

(Other definitions for sward that I've seen before include "Grassy expanse" , "Expanse of grass" , "Extent of grass" , "Grassy area" , "Stretch of turf or grass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
