And after his triumph, a tearful DeChambeau revealed he had received a text from Tiger Woods wishing him luck for the final day.
Woods is still recovering from surgery after being involved in a horror car crash that leaves him fighting for his career.
The American finished on -11, with Westwood back in second on -10.
Corey Connors finished off an impressive showing at one of the PGA Tour’s biggest tournaments in third on -8.
Westwood will pocket £730,000 for his performances over the week.
The 47-year-old Brit was supported throughout the tournament by his partner and caddy Helen Storey.
Westwood gave her his bag during the Made In Denmark competition in September 2018 after handing usual caddie Billy Foster a week off – and responded with one of his best performances of the year.
Since then, Storey, who is a fitness instructor from Newcastle, has been a regular on the links alongside her man.
