"It puts me in a great position going into the new year," said McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman insisted the defeat in Hong Kong is already behind him as he focuses on making a solid start to 2009.
"As long as I can keep putting myself in these positions and feeling the nerves and the adrenaline, I'll know I'm doing things right," said McIlroy.
"I have two events left in South Africa. If I don't win there, I'll hopefully win sometime next year.
"As long as I keep putting myself in these positions, I'll be able to pull through sooner or later."

| McIlroy climbed the leaderboard with a five-under-par 65 to enter a three-way play-off with Lin and Italy's Francesco Molinari.
Molinari could only par the first play-off hole on the par-four 18th while Lin and McIlroy both birdied meaning the two would face off again.
McIlroy scrambled a par on his second play-off hole after finding trees off the tee but Lin hit his approach to a foot to secure his first European Tour victory.
"I thought I probably did enough to make three at the first play-off hole and I had an incredible shot for my second shot, but it just wasn't meant to be," added McIlroy.
"Obviously it's still been a great week for me. I'll look back on it, and I've played really well. I couldn't have done much more."
