Wrong ball from Bunker- place or drop

[3offTheTee]

Played with a guy who hit my ball from a bunker. Should he have placed or dropped my original ball and if he did it wrong what is the penalty?

 

[CliveW]

If a player makes a stroke at a wrong ball then he loses the hole in matchplay or incurs a penalty of two strokes in stroke play and the OWNER must PLACE a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played. (Rule 15-3)

you don't get penalized for playing a wrong ball from a bunker(maybe even a hazard) i think if you do you have to go back and find your original ball and play the shot
