Is this a type of clover?

I have a St. Augustine Lawn in New Orleans, LA that is being "choked" by this weed. It appears to be a type of clover, but I cannot find any images on the internet that resemble it. My turf if fairly thick and healthy, but this weed will grow through it and completely shade the underlying turf.

It grows through the mulch of my flowerbeds as well. I have tried several layers of newspaper under the mulch, and the stems of this weed will grow up to 1 foot long to finally reach the edge of the newspaper and sprout up. It pulls out like spaghetti.

I have tried to remove this repeatedly by hand, but I need to hire a crew at this point. It is just too wide spread. I also have dollarweed, but it is a tiny problem compared this weed.

Any help with identification or control solution is appreciated.
