FANS have been left baffled after darts veteran Ross Montgomery coached his opponent during their final. The 62-year-old Scot beat Graham Usher 5-1 on Saturday night to win the World Seniors Championship. The match turned at 1-1 after Usher missed a whopping TEN set darts to move ahead.

During the horror leg, Montgomery bizarrely gave his rival advice in an awkward exchange. Usher was visibly frustrated after his seventh miss, taking a brief moment to pause and wipe his palms with a towel. Montgomery went over to him and the pair briefly spoke.

Usher returned to the oche and fired another three off target before the man nicknamed "The Boss" kept his composure to wrap up the leg on double top. Montgomery then approached the 51-year-old and again said something while this time pointing to his head.
Usher looked confused and pulled a perplexed face down the camera. Fans were left equally baffled, with one saying: "Genuinely one of strangest and most patronising things I’ve seen on any darts stage.". JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS. Another added: "How odd.".
A third wrote: "Utter madness.". Explaining the move, Montgomery said: "Graham has kicked my a*** many times because he’s a fantastic player. I told him on stage ‘Graham, just calm down and be yourself son’. "If you win, you win. Just calm down. This is all about a game of darts.
"Graham is a fantastic player; he will be back. He will be kicking backsides.". It was not the only strange interaction Usher was involved at the World Seniors Championship over the weekend, approaching opponent Leonard Gates and giving him a death stare on stage.
