The 31-year-old American converted his commanding overnight lead into a comfortable victory at Vidanta Vallarta with three straight birdies on the back nine.
Novak, whose only previous tour victory came at last year's Zurich Classic pairs event alongside Ben Griffin, finished on a tournament record 25-under-par 259.
"It is nice to get one. Obviously I loved Zurich and everything about that tournament -- it's so fun -- but it is nice to have one by myself too," said Novak.
