I believe in that case the proximity of the provisional to the original is not a factor. Distance left to the hole would be the deciding factor on when you've reached the position of the original.

Thanks. That makes sense. However, knowing how particular some may be (especially legal types) when it comes to the wording of the Rules of Golf, is there anything in the Rules which specifies that distance, not proximity, is know the deciding factor in this case?
