Vegetable from standard crop (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parsnip

'vegetable' is the definition.
(parsnip is a type of vegetable)

'standard crop?' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'crop?' becomes 'snip' (synonyms).
'par'+'snip'='PARSNIP'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for parsnip that I've seen before include "Type of root veg" , "A white root vegetable" , "Yellow root vegetable" , "Pale carrot-like vegetable" , "Pips ran oddly through the vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
