Playing in a 4 ball today and player A's tee shot on 9 hit a tree and no one saw it come down. Players B. C and D were all in the fairway. Player A hit a provisional and went to look for his first ball. Players B and C played their second shots to the green and went to look for A's ball. After 3 minutes and no sign of A's first ball he then played his provisional. On reaching the green B marked his ball and found that he had mistakenly played A's first ball.
We weren't exactly sure what should happen with player A as his original ball had been played prior to him commencing his search so he went back and played it from where player B had hit it from, originally with no penalty. After the round player A DQ'd himself as he had already played his provisional and he believed that that should have been the ball in play. Was he correct to be DQ'd?
