Whip good source in reshuffle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scourge

'whip' is the definition.
(scourge is a kind of whip)

'good source in reshuffle' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'in reshuffle' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'g'+'source'='gsource'
'gsource' anagrammed gives 'SCOURGE'.

(Other definitions for scourge that I've seen before include "Cause great suffering to (someone); whip" , "Whip, flog" , "Whip; agent of suffering" , "menace" , "Whip; source of suffering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
