Who else has made a LET cut this young?
Saraswat, 13 years, six months and 14 days old, ranks second on the LET's youngest-cut-makers list behind major champion Ariya Jutanugarn, who made the weekend at the 2008 Finnair Masters a year after qualifying outright for the LPGA Tour's Honda LPGA Thailand event.
Saraswat, who started playing golf at three and has already collected 15 national titles, credited her parents, brother and caddie for their support. "I feel great actually," she said after her second-round 69.
