    I'm going to go against the grain and suggest anthracnose fungus due to the ring-like appearance of some of the lesions. The flashpoint could've been a sunburnt spot, but the spreading yellow around the brown suggests something more sinister to me. I would excise the brown and yellow areas and treat the edges with an antifungal such as cinnamon.
