VIDEO | Birthday boy Daryl Gurney teases Michael Van Gerwen after thriller: “I’m older, but I look better”

Daryl Gurney sparked a light-hearted moment on stage after his match against Michael van Gerwen at the Belgian Darts Open. The Northern Irishman was celebrating his birthday, but he didn’t receive any presents. He did, however, take the chance to tease Michael van Gerwen in his own way.

Host Philip Brzezinski opened the interview with Van Gerwen by referencing Gurney’s birthday. “It was his birthday, there were no presents whatsoever though.”

Gurney then turned straight to Van Gerwen and asked a question. “ What I will say, I'm so sorry, but what age are you?" Van Gerwen’s reply was brief. “36.”

That was all Gurney needed to fire back. “I'm four years older, but I look so much better, it's unreal.” Van Gerwen wouldn’t let it slide and responded instantly. “Come on, hurry up, you've got a flight to catch. You've got a flight to catch.” Watch the exchange between the two players in the video below.
