It marks a strong run of form before The Masters gets underway on April 10 in Augusta, but McIlroy has revealed he has an injury issue.
Speaking to NBC Sports on Sunday about his plans for the coming week, he said: "My right elbow has been bothering me a little bit.
"So maybe just get some treatment on that and make sure that's ok going into Augusta.

Despite the fitness concerns, McIlroy remained upbeat on his recent display: "The last three days were really good.
"I actually made a slight adjustment on my driver yesterday. I went on the range and took the loft off a little bit, and I definitely drove the ball better today
"So that was a positive, saw some putts go in and yeah, I felt like as I went on during the week I got better and better as the scores sort of suggest. It was a good week.

A Career Grand Slam is when all four major tournaments are won in a player's career.
McIlroy would hold the accolade alongside Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods if he wins The Masters.
It would also end an 11-year wait for the fifth major on his CV.

McIlroy will hope that 2025 is the year he finally wins The MastersCredit: GettyHe has already won The Players Championship this year, as well as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

But he looked back to his best at the Houston Open, finishing one shot behind winner Min Woo Lee.
“I liked the way my swing started to feel over the weekend,” said Scheffler.
