Romero penalized 1 stroke for ball against rake

Just turned the GC on and they showed yesterday Romero's ball going through the green and stopped against/by the rake on the hillside above the bunker. They said he marked the ball with a tee, removed the rake (before the official got there)....and then the official gave him a 1-stroke penalty for 'moving the ball'.

They didn't say more on this but I wondered, what else could you have done, except yes, wait for an official? Isn't that the proper method?
