Two Australians, Morgan Ruig and Evan Shay, faked their way into a professional golf tournament in North Korea, dressing in green blazers with an Australian logo.

The men applied to play in a world golf tournament held in North Korea while they were playing polo in Beijing.

The 28-year-olds were chaperoned during the tournament that brought together 85 participants to a golf course in Pyongyang that was opened by North Korea's late leader Kim Jong-il in 1987.

"We were very nervous handing our passports over at the border. There are stories of people not coming home," Mr Ruig siad

After the event, both men were able to leave the country safely, but they went home without a medal.

"I hit 120 and my caddy told me I had bought great shame to my family," Mr Ruig said.

"We played very poorly... but we met some very interesting people."

Mr Ruig told Yahoo Sport that the trip was not for a “light-hearted travellerâ€.

“It was pretty hardcore but it was an amazing experience."
