Frenchman David Ravetto finished alone in third place on ten under after signing for a closing 70.
An emotional Gumberg said at the trophy presentation: "I'm so thankful to be standing here.
"It means everything. I never really got this far in my dreams. So I'm kind of at a loss for words but it means everything.
"It's what we fight for every day, it's what we practice for, it's the early hours, the late hours, everything. This is incredible.
"I want to thank my fiancée, first and foremost, she's amazing. I wouldn't be here without her. And my family back home. My dad has put so much into my golf game and just to be standing here for him and my mum and everybody just means the world."
