16.1/1 – Relief from Abnormal Course Condition May Result in Better or Worse Conditions For example, in taking relief from a sprinkler head (immovable obstruction) in the rough, the player’s nearest point of complete relief or relief area may be located in the fairway. If this results in the player being able to drop a ball in the fairway, this is allowed.

USGA FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME
Transcript
Let's take free relief from this sprinkler head without going closer to the hole. Move your feet just enough. So you're no longer standing on it. In this case, that's only a couple of inches from that point, drop a ball within one club lane. If after dropping, you're not touching it with your live stance or swing, then you've taken complete tier. And in case you're wondering, this is not considered improving your live. If your one club length reaches into the fairway when taking relief, it's just your lucky day.
