Turek Pronunciation?

A Czech friend told me that the correct
pronunciation in Europe is TOOR-ihk or
TOOR-eck. That is the also the way I've
heard people say the name of the hockey player
Roman Turek from the Czech Republic. Most
Americans seem to have a little difficulty
with the name, so it was often shortened
to Turk (there are lots of Turks and Tureks
around Chicago). I've always used tur-ECK, but I've heard others use TOO-reck in the USA. How do you say it?
