My answer to the question was 8 which was incorrect.
Tee shot 1, S&D and wrong place 3 penalties and subsequent stroke, serious breach (rule 14.7b must correct the mistake). 3 stokes with the original ball.
I cannot understand why the player had to return to the tee.
What am I getting wrong?
Would appreciate clarifications thanks
The Q&A:
In stroke play, a player hits their tee shot into the rough on the 18th hole. They search for 2 minutes and find a ball in a bad lie. They decide it is unplayable, drop it under Rule 19.2b, and play it onto the putting green. When they get there they realize it isn’t their ball and return to the area and find their ball in 30 seconds in a playable lie. Without lifting it, they play it to the green and hole out in two putts. They then go into the scoring area and, before returning their card, tell the scorer what they just did. Their score for the hole is: (Ref# 689)
