That sounds more like a Japanese transliteration. Korean provides for the "gor" to be expressed in a single character. 이 "ee" 골 "gor"

Korean consonants have slightly different sounds at the beginning and end of a syllable. ㄹ is pronounced as L at the end of a block, but R at the beginning of one, hence the additional syllable.
