Stare as Spanish cheer winning golf (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogle

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

'spanish cheer winning golf' is the wordplay.
'spanish cheer' becomes 'ole' (cheer used in the Spanish language).
'winning' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters win or obtain others).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'ole' going around 'g' is 'OGLE'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ogle that I've seen before include "Look at amorously" , "Stare at in a lecherous manner" , "Eye lecherously" , "Look at inappropriately" , "Stare lewdly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
