Pride of Spanish golf.

Tough track, with trees very much taking centre stage.

Pace of play issues, and very fast greens.

GRQOTW 93 - Fraser and Ross are partners in a four-ball match play against Blakey and Stuart.  Fraser's ball is on the putting green 10m from the hole. Ross' ball is 6m from the hole on a very similar line to his partners'.  To help with his own upcoming putt, Ross stands behind Fraser on an extension of the line of his putt while Fraser putts, but he does stand off the putting green.  As soon as Fraser putts, Blakey states, "thanks guys, we just won that hole!  Ross was standing in the restricted area."   Fraser doesn't agree and calls in a referee.  What is the ruling?
