I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "(Golfer) in the sand" , "... Grande, ... de Janeiro" , "Erstwhile home of Biggs" , "- Ferdinand, footballer" , "Brazilian city and port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the LA Times, the Newsday, The New York Times and the Universal.
