Lowry began his round on the 10th and finished three-over after his front nine, dropping four shots and recording only one birdie, on the par-five 14th.
He bogeyed the first and second to slip to five-over but recovered some ground from there with six pars and birdie on the par-five 7th, at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.
Lowry is in a tie for 118th position, nine shots behind leaders Marco Penge and Frederic Lacroix, both five-under after their rounds off 66.
Jon Rahm, the Ryder Cup team-mate who Lowry played alongside today, is 66th on one-over.
Back-to-back birdies in his final two holes helped Tom McKibbin finish with a level par 71, while Conor Purcell had a disappointing day with a round of 81 to leave him 10-over.
