[B]Golf Rule Question[/B]

This actually occurred to me yesterday and I doubt it will ever happen again.

I hit a crappy shot on a par 3 (nothing that unuual there) and it took me a while to find it as it hit the path and bounced.  I ended up with a 30 yard chip shot that had to go under a tree branch and over a trap.   Tough shot.  I nail it low and it is flying across the green and on path to be mercifully stopped by the bunker on the other side of the green ... and this is where it gets interesting.

- My playing partner had putted out and was practicing a second putt since it took me time to find my ball.
- As my ball is flying across the green (about 10 feet off line) its hits his MOVING ball as he is taking a practice putt.

- My ball deflects off his moving ball and to about 3 inches from the hole for a tap in par or was it?

Obviously if his ball was standing still, then there are no questions.    He re-marks his ball, and I play where my ball ends up.

But in this case it hits his ball that is moving (due to something that is technically not allowed).    I think the rule would be similar and that I play it where it ends up, but anybody think the ruling is different in this case?
