Golf-Canadian Hadwin shoots 59 at PGA Tour event

* Reels off 13 birdies in California desert

* Vaults into lead after three rounds (Adds quotes, details)

Jan 21 (Reuters) - Canadian Adam Hadwin became the eighth player to break 60 on the PGA Tour, and the second in successive weeks, with a superb 13-under-par display in the third round of the CareerBuilder Challenge in La Quinta, California on Saturday.

Just nine days after American Justin Thomas fired an opening 59 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, Hadwin followed suit at La Quinta Country Club, one of three venues hosting the pro-am event in the Coachella Valley where low scoring is a perennial factor.
