Crossword Genius

Injury with no handicap (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scratch

I believe this is a double definition.

'injury' is the first definition.
(I know that scratch is a type of lesion)

'no handicap' is the second definition.
(scratch handicap is a zero handicap in golf)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scratch that I've seen before include "Such a good golfer" , "claw" , "Improvised" , "slight injury" , "small injury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
