circular patches dead grass in new sod

Please help! My sod 3mos old. It is 90/10 fescue installed by landscape contractor who rototilled and placed compost, no fertilizer.

The lawn has circular patches of DEAD grass, easily pulled out by the roots. It seems to be spreading. I did fertilize it two weeks ago, but this doesn't seem to have help or changed anything.
The lawn has gotten plenty of water since installation. I live in Sacramento, where it has been very hot. I water lawn for 10 mins at 5a and at 7p. All affected areas are moist but not flooded or soaked.

Is this a disease? I don't think it's cutworm, I dug up some areas of the really dead stuff and there was nothing underneath.
