Kaymer fired a six-under-par 66 to claim his third European Tour title in a row but Westwood struggled to a 73 and finished tied 11th, well short of the top-two spot he needed to end Tiger Woods's reign as number one.
The last European to win three PGA Tour events in a row was former world number one Nick Faldo in 1989 and Kaymer's triumph lifted him to fourth in the rankings.
He birdied the 18th hole to finish three strokes clear of Briton Danny Willett with overnight leader John Parry third after a double-bogey at the 14th derailed his title bid.
Defending champion Simon Dyson closed with a 66 and a share of fifth place.
