Why was he allowed to remove it? And is it a one stroke penalty?

He took an unplayable lie and yes, it is under a one stroke penalty.
Since it was in a bunker, he had to drop it in the bunker also.
I've had to do that a number of times, as the chance of burying it deeper or popping it up and hitting it again, then have it stay in the bunker, can be many more penalty shots than the just the unplayable lie.
The problem is that with a drop in the bunker, you take a chance that the ball will bury from the shoulder high drop and you have a tough shot anyway.
