won

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'succeeded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for won that I've seen before include "Succeeded, conquered" , "Came first" , "Gained a victory" , "Triumphed" , "prevailed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
