Surrounded by team on green to some extent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

among

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

'team on green to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates a hidden word.
'AMONG' is hidden within 'team on green'.

(Other definitions for among that I've seen before include "Amidst" , "In the middle of, say a crowd" , "Go man! (anag.)" , "In an assembly of" , "when in company" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
