    If you cut out small holes from the grass, you could probably grow flowers temporarily in grass, but the grass will soon grown back and crowd them out. It's better to remove the grass first to allow your flowers to establish themselves properly and grow stronger.

    Here's an alternative method that would allow you to kill grass in-place without ripping it up and plant flowers right on top:

    This might be a fungal disease, such as those described under "Chrysanthemum" in this article:
    http://web.extension.illinois.edu/state/newsdetail.cfm?NewsID=15420

    Removing and discarding the affected leaves might help stop the spread. If the spread continues after that, removing the affected plant to protect the healthy plant might be the best option.

    They should be just fine in pots. You can read all about shasta daisy container care in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/shasta-daisy/caring-for-shasta-daisy-in-pots.htm

    Unfortunately, those holes could be caused by any number of pests. My best guess is slugs. This article covers slug treatment and might help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/kill-garden-slugs.htm

    Shasta Daisy grow in zones 3-8.

    Depending on your location you could be zones 7-9.
    I would choose a morning sun and afternoon shade location.

    I'm assuming this is a shasta daisy. If the plant has been in the same spot for several years, it may be time to dig it up, divide it and inject some nourishment into the soil with compost or peat moss. When you dead-head, do you cut back to the forming bud? It is quite deep and if you don't cut down to it, it may not be getting enough sunlight. Have you tried a light fertilizer application when the plant has its initial bloom? It sounds like it has exhausted itself by the first bloom.

    A hungry woodchuck, aka groundhog, or other critter like rabbit could have done this. Woodchucks are getting used to having humans around and are becoming bolder as a consequence. Normally not a pest except at the edges of cities or woodland borders, they are pushing further in. If you have a free-standing shed in your yard, you have perfect groundhog habitat. Since they climb and dig, like raccoons, fences are of little use. Rabbits live in most areas and can stand tall to reach the upper parts of plants. Rabbits are nocturnal but you might spot one in the early dawn. You might throw a cloche or row cover over the daisies for now. Other options are traps and repellents. For those, you need to know which animal you are dealing with.
