The standard (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

par

'the standard' is the definition.
(standard of play in golf)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for par that I've seen before include "Normal golfing score" , "Standard number of strokes for a golf hole" , "Standard score for golfers" , "average degree" , "Black music" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
