At a five-over-par total of 285, Cabrera edged Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk, both former US Open champions, by one shot. Cabrera was as low as three over after a birdie at 15 but he gave shots back - and handed Woods and Furyk hope of a comeback - with bogeys at 16 and 17.
A par at 18 put Cabrera in the clubhouse on five over as the American duo played the final holes.
Both Woods and Furyk tried to drive the green at the 306-yard 17th but ran into trouble. Furyk bogeyed the hole from the rough to the left of the green and Woods was unable to get up and down for birdie from a greenside bunker.
At 18, Furyk split the fairway with his drive but his approach was long and left, leading to a par.
Woods had a 30-footer to force a play-off but left it out to the right and about a foot past the hole.
The world number one dug himself a hole he could never get out of with a double-bogey on the 428-yard, par-four third hole.
Woods had an uphill pitch shot that he tried to hit into the side of the hill to take some of the speed off, but instead it skipped across the green and into the rough on the other side.
He mis-hit the pitch coming back and took two putts to finish the hole. Woods bounced back with his only birdie of the round at the 609-yard, par-five fourth.
He made an eight-footer for birdie there but never made another on his way to a two-over round of 72. Furyk shot his second straight 70 to finish tied for second with Woods at a six-over 286.
