(Reuters) - Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson made a late charge up the leaderboard to get within four shots of surprise leader, China's Huang Wen-yi, after Thursday's opening round of the European Tour's Shenzhen International.

Playing for the first time since presenting Jordan Spieth with his green jacket at Augusta National, Watson reeled off three birdies in a row on his back nine to sign for a two-under-par 70 at the Genzon Golf Club.
