Since it is near a walk, it may be chemical, as in a spill. One suggestion is dig up the soil and check for whats under there. Its roundish, which may or may not be fungal. Its a small area so digging it up and replacing it is not a hard job, but its a last resort. If you dethach it and seed it, try to do that in the time of year appropriate for that grass, cool season in fall and warm in spring. It may just want some carbon as in humic materials. Folks know the NPK on fertilizer and they know water is H2O but C,O and H are the other three major nutrients and that gets past folks.
Ok thanks!

Have you aerated it yet? Have you considered using a plugger?
Aerated a while back.

This is mine. So when you fertilized it, assuming, did you spin round right there and get a lot of fertilizer in one spot?
Like a wider aerator? Takes plugs out?

Burmuda seeds ok, but it takes a season to develop good roots. Justbhadba thought, did you by chance use any herbicides? weednfeed or spray stuff? Can you remember what it was?

I have a pretty big burmuda section. Usually if it does that so big its bugs. It's the right time of year. It can patch with fungus so when its wet I will cut it around 2.5 inches (10 cm?) so the sun can get in there to dry, heat and irradiate fungi. I run humic, fulvic, and a micro nutrient mix so I do not have to fertilize since bugs love a fertilized plant like burmuda. I try to keep it mid to upper 6 pH. When the plant turns to straw like that its usually some root death. Can you pull it up without roots? If somebody did something wrong with a multi-year herbicide that spot can take s minute to straighten up. There are a lot of varieties so thats why I like plugs, I know it will be the same. If you seed it wrong you can tell.
