Ball hitting fairway marker

[evahakool]

PP was 20 yards behind fairway marker located in middle of fairway, he hit the marker and ball went sideways, he thought he could play again from original spot without penalty, I thought he would have to play ball as it lies.

Who was correct?

No local rule on back of card.

Rub of the green - play the ball as it lies

Rule 19-1 is the applicable rule.
