With another lost ball/provisional thread going on I don't want to hijack for a theoretical so I'll start my own!
Par 3, green isn't visible from the tee, tee shot is hit and is missing the green towards thick rough/trees/etc so a provisional is played and incredibly enough goes in the hole, when the player arrives at the green he finds his first ball within a few feet of the hole (members bounce no doubt!) and his provisional ball in the hole.
Should the player putt out for his 2 or does holing out his provisional ball take his original ball out of play?
(Sorry if this has been done before)
