10-2c/1 Ball Played Out of Turn from Tee Abandoned and Another Ball Played in Proper Order

Q:
In stroke play, a competitor played out of turn from the teeing ground and, although he should have continued play with the ball played out of turn without penalty, he abandoned the ball and played another ball in proper order. What is the ruling?

A:
When the competitor played another ball from the tee, the original ball was lost and the other ball was in play under penalty of stroke and distance -- see Rule 27-1.
