Do you pronounce ‘amateur’ “am-a-chure” or “amadur”

I’ve only ever heard the quick ‘amadur’ pronunciation by tv and radio announcers. Never IRL. Inspired by the masters coverage on radio and tv. Personally drives me nuts but maybe it’s just me. What says the OT?

I can accept that, too. “Amadur” just sounds pretentious to me.

If I'm being honest

"Am-a-chure" for "amateur hour" and similar use

"am-a-teur" for "low amateur" or similar use
