16.1
Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
This Rule covers free relief that is allowed from interference by animal holes, ground under repair, immovable obstructions or temporary water:
These are collectively called abnormal course conditions, but each has a separate Definition.
This Rule does not give relief from movable obstructions (a different type of free relief is allowed under Rule 15.2a) or boundary objects or integral objects (no free relief is allowed).
a
When Relief Is Allowed
(1) Meaning of Interference by Abnormal Course Condition. Interference exists when any one of these is true:
The player’s ball touches or is in or on an abnormal course condition,
An abnormal course condition physically interferes with the player’s area of intended stance or area of intended swing, or
Only when the ball is on the putting green, an abnormal course condition on or off the putting green intervenes on the line of play.
If the abnormal course condition is close enough to distract the player but does not meet any of these requirements, there is no interference under this Rule.

So if I understood how it played out for Hanson: he took a clublength from his lie in the rough/fenced area towards the fairway, which that lie would have been interfered with by the iron fence if he took it there, so since they were confused about the fence's status he then took another clublength of free relief from the fence – putting him out in the fairway sitting pretty? And if my summary is accurate, would it have all been correct/legal if the fence was a TIO or something exclusively for the tournament/playoff?
