American Matt Kuchar was third of the 28-man field at 19 under with his compatriot Sean OHair in a tie for fourth at 18 under with Scotlands Martin Laird.
Ogilvy started the day one shot back on third-round leader and US Open champion Lucas Glover but as the front runner dropped off the leaderboard, Ogilvys new target became Sabbatini.
Sabbatini had given the leaders plenty to think about with a bogey-free, 10-birdie 63 that gave him the clubhouse lead until Ogilvy brought up the rear and took the title, the Australian reaching the 18th tee with a one-stroke lead and needing to avoid bogey or worse to force a play-off.
Laird had been in contention all week and at 19 under after 15 holes was just three shots back only to bogey 16 and 17 to ruin his hopes of victory.
There was eagle opportunity at the par-five 18th but the Scots long putt just missed right and Lairds birdie nevertheless bumped him up into a top-five finish at 18 under.
Ogilvy, 32, collected $1.12 million for his seventh victory on the US Tour.
