Englishwoman Amy Hunt (10.98s) took silver, and Australian Torrie Lewis (10.99s) took bronze.
Hobbs finished fifth in the 100m final at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
Speaking after the race, Hobbs told Sky: "Wild. I don't even know, I can't even put it into words, it's just crazy.
"I just think about the time I was told I shouldn't do the 100m because it's too hard to do, that I should consider doing other events because I'll never make it as a sprinter in the 100m.
"I actually had a bit of a stumble and had to recover myself, and I wasn't sure if that would be enough to keep me in it. But I don't know, the rest is a bit of a blur and I managed to hold them off and I had to dip, it's not my strength to dip, but I think I dipped."
