Second-place finisher (6-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runner-up

'second-place finisher' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for runner-up that I've seen before include "One nearly winning" , "One who is second in a race" , "One coming second" , "Silver medallist" , "Competitor who finishes second" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the King Feature Syndicate and The Times.
