Answer 1

It might be overwater, or you might have a case of a fungus called Brown Patch.

Over-watering, especially late in the afternoon or night is a breeding ground for fungus. Never put your grass to bed wet.

Treat with a fungicide, and don't water after sunset.

Answer 2

It's possible you may be over watering causing the grass to lay down and rot. Especially if the area gets little sunlight. I'd cut back on the water and see if that helps. Try twice a week instead of four.
