Padre run out, not feeling too good (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

under par

'not feeling too good' is the definition.
('under par' is feeling worse than usual)

'padre run out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'padre'+'run'='padrerun'
'padrerun' anagrammed gives 'UNDER PAR'.

(Other definitions for under par that I've seen before include "Not feeling great" , "low" , "doing well 8 [ON COURSE]" , "Out of form" , "Below average - it's good in golf" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
