OK so while playing Pasatiempo, two guys hit their second shots from opposite sides of the fairway almost at the same time, with the guy closer to the hole a fraction of a second behind. In what had to be a 1 in 1,000,000 occurrence, their balls collided about 100 yards down the fairway as they were both moving.

What are the rules consequences, if any?

(The guys let out a couple of 'd00000000d!!!!'s and played on)

Both players play their balls as they lie, no penalties. From 19-5b:

If a player's ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by another ball in motion after a stroke, the player must play his ball as it lies. There is no penalty, unless the player was in breach of Rule 16-1f, in which case he incurs the penalty for breach of that Rule.

(The referenced Rule 16-1f handles the case that a player makes a stroke while a ball struck from the putting green is still in motion, which is not the case here)

In the bag:
