Can someone help me diagnose my grass problem?

I think I have brown patch but I’m not an expert.

Here are some pictures I uploaded.

I live in the Dallas area. My watering schedule is about 1 inch every other day. I laid the sod in May and haven’t had any significant problems until recently.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sort of looks more like Pythium to me. Is there a slightly slimish, oily feel underneath? Is this an area where water lays? Without seeing the actual leaf for lesions I really cannot tell.

Sorry…cannot be sure.

I’ll take some more pictures tomorrow and check for the oily feeling you referred to.

Thanks for your help guys.

1″ every other day? too much water.

also, go to the edge of the infected areas and pull on the leavesif they pull off easily and are rotted/brown at the bottom of the sheath…it is large patch/brown patch
