Scorer from Europe contacted in the Americas (7)

I believe the answer is:

smetana

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

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for smetana that I've seen before include "maker of notes" , "Bedrich ____, composer of "The Bartered Bride" and "The Kiss"" , "musician" , "Czech composer, d. 1884 - Eastman (anag)" , "Composer of The Bartered Bride; eats man (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
