WEED or bermuda seed?

This year has been my first experience with bermuda. I have a lawn of mostly bermuda and some centipede in south georgia. Over the last month some patches about one foot in diameter have appeared which look like normal bermuda stalks but have what I am guessing are “seeds” — they resemble sand spurs yet they are soft. Does this look like a weed to you? Thanks very much!

that is kyllingia brevafolia. is is a sedge. MSMAAmixed with image will do it in. also basagran works well. manage will do the best, but it is pricey
