Supporter of sport? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tee

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

This could be a double definition.

'supporter' is the first definition.
(a golf tee acts as a support)

'sport?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tee that I've seen before include "Stand" , "Golf ball support" , "Golf-peg" , "Drive off it, half-tittering" , "Golfer's support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
