It appears they are trying a new technique on some courses to transition from overseed to base. It is similar to what I experienced on our courses in SoCal. They basically starve the overseed, leaving an almost bare surface. When the overseed is dead, they hit the turf with water and fertilizer to spur growth of the bermuda. Usually, the transition is harsher, but shorter since there is no shading of the bermuda by the overseed.
