A double bogey on the first did not bode well for the Rosapenna professional for his Round 2 hopes. However three birdies on the way to the turn brought McGee under par and a level finish at the eighteenth secured a spot seven strokes from the leader James Heath. More importantly well inside the coveted first fifteen places with two days to go.
Stephen Grant went the opposite direction after a strong start on Saturday, to finish day two in a tie for 78th place - carding a round of 78. A double bogey on the par four 12th the major damage in a round that also included six bogeys.
Niall Kearney moved to a share of 21st with a second day 71, despite a double bogey on the par 4 sixth.
Damian Mooney fired a 69 and moved to 39th spot cruising around Las Colinas in two under par.
Brendan McCarroll was ten strokes worse though and a 79 included a double and triple bogey on Sunday.
David Rawluk is 66th after carding a second round 75 and unlikely to make it beyond Monday's cut.
At Campo de Golf El Saler the pace is being set by Carlos Del Moral from Spain and Niccolo Quintarelli from Italy on -7, where the best of the Irish, Kevin Phelan, was 72 for the day and sharing twentieth place.
The Waterford man has some work to do for a final Stage spot after his round of 35 and 37 reflected little drama he encountered, as he matched birdies and bogeys to finish level.
Colm Moriarty was one better with 71 but four places further adrift on day two after his one over par opening round.
John Daniel Guiney signed for a 75 with a double on the par 4 sixth the damage, leaving him in 75th spot at the half way stage.
Alan Dunbar signed for 80 despite an eagle 2 on par four 14th. That good news aside the card was just too blue with no recovery birdies to improve his chances.
At Lumine Golf and Beach Club in Tarragona Dermot McElroy finished three under par on Sunday to finish 20th and five strokes off the leader Chris Hanson - who was unable to match his first 64 - and signed for a round of 70.
At Valle Romano Golf Gareth Shaw finished with a three under par 68, and only good enough for a share of 46th place. Three players share the lead on -10, Nikolai E Nissen, Gary Stal and Lee Bedford.
