This is one tenacious weed. You thought Creeping Charlie was bad, this little fella can grow a tap root 2 feet long!
Common Mallow
With a small infestation you can keep up on mowing to prevent the flowers from going to seed.
If you have a large infestion, you can use Round Up but apply it carefully and you’ll have to reapply. 2,4-D can weaken the plant making it easier to pull out.
