I run two championship golf groups. In this exact situation we use the closest to the pin for the CTP winner, and each group chooses which ball they want to putt, regardless of whether it is the actual closest one or not. Our rationale is four balls were hit to the par 3 green, all are in play so any one of them can be chosen as CTP, but the group chooses which one to actually putt to the hole. They don't have to be the same ball in the groups I run.
