bevan's Identifications

I found what appears to be myrtle rust on a small potted pohutakawa, and intend to destroy it.

I have been advised by MIP that v this is the best thing to do to verify what it is, could someone please offer a professional opinion.

Thanks.

some trouble with accessing and uploading to this site.

In heavily irrigated Kentucky Bluegrass turf. Although this is a high maintenance yard, there has been minimal nitrogen added this year compared to the past. Some of the turf in the area is new sod and much of the lawn is recovering from construction stress. I am unsure about irrigation settings but new sod might be getting extra water, meaning more moisture on the leaf surface overnight and into the morning. Fairly shaded area from a large Cottonwood.
