Actually, the replay shows the track in the sand that the club left on the way back also. Penalty was correct. Should have informed both players at same time...Either before 3rd shot, after 3rd shot, or b-4 they putted.
I'm not sure there is anything in rules about " Inform Players Asap or Inform all players together " . Might be in future after problems this year. High Def TV has sure made a big difference. I trust 99.9 % of the players to
call penalties on themselves. Golf is a game of honor and lets keep it that way. IMHO
