He has a title within his grasp (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

holder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he has a title within his' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'grasp' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'grasp' could be 'hold' (synonyms) and 'hold' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for holder that I've seen before include "Keeper; container" , "Something which grasps" , "Occupant" , "retainer" , "Noddy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
