Walker Cup golfer, e.g. (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amateur

(Other definitions for amateur that I've seen before include "Unpaid (sport)" , "Unprofessional" , "Person who does something as a pastime rather than a profession" , "hobbyist" , "Inept, non-professional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
