QUESTION:

I was out playing last week and I hit my ball into a lateral water hazard. I decided to take my relief option of taking two club lengths from the point in which the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard. When I went to take my drop, my ball rolled into a fairway bunker. Am I allowed to play my ball from the bunker?
What is the ruling?
