I thought that was strange as well. But you can't assume from that that it was intentional. A lot of players will mark every time out of habit. She might have marked and then realized it was unnecessary. As has been pointed out, many players line up the brand name before they putt and she may have been doing that as well. It might have been a nervous reaction.

I need a lot more than that to call it intentional. I guess if you reviewed a lot of video of her actions on short putts and found that either she did or didn't do that a lot it might settle the question.
