As has already been noted, graduating early will not be held against you in any way, but anything you sacrificed in order to do so will. So if graduating early came at the cost of GPA, or research, or relevant coursework, then you could find yourself at a disadvantage when compared to others who took the slow route and had more opportunities to do the things the admissions committee want to see.

Also, what is your objective in getting the masters? I ask because it is almost certain to cost you time and money to acquire, and I am not sure what career improvement you will see with just the masters.
