As defending champion, the 36-year-old finished on one over par, 19 strokes behind runaway winner Jordan Spieth when play came to end on Sunday at Augusta National.

Watson presented the new champion with his green jacket then got on a plane before dusting his jet lag down with a practice round at Genzon Golf Club ahead of Thursday's inaugural Shenzhen International in the southern Chinese metropolis.
