Recruit selection from US Pro Golf (5)

I believe the answer is:

sprog

'recruit' is the definition.
(I know that sprog is a type of recruit)

'selection from us pro golf' is the wordplay.
'selection from' indicates a hidden word.
'SPROG' can be found hidden inside 'us pro golf'.

(Other definitions for sprog that I've seen before include "little one" , "Kid" , "Child, colloquially" , "Baby (slang)" , "Infant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
