Some background:
KSAN ops were good visibility with broken 1100 cloud bases (Pirep 1700 bases). Aircraft were flying instrument approaches to runway 27 (no visual approach clearances by tower). Bizjet was N564HV.

From Live ATC:
4HV granted landing clearance 27 with advisory that traffic would be holding in position
One minute later SWA2493 cleared LUAW 27
3 minutes after 4HV receives landing clearance, directed to go around
SWA2493 directed to exit 27 at C2 (annoyed that position in queue just went from #1 to #5)
Prior to 4HV go around, tower was issuing an amended clearance to another aircraft resulting in multiple blocked transmissions, possibly from 4HV

ADS-B data showed 4HV initiated go around at the runway 27 threshold. Minimum corrected altitude was 225 ft, which would give a clearance of about 165ft over a 737

As a crazy bonus, on 4HV’s second approach, he was following N565HV. Tower directed 4HV to again go around and fly published missed due to insufficient spacing from 5HV. Tower then queried 4HV if he had the traffic (5HV) in sight. 4HV replied affirmative. Tower then queried if 4HV had the airport in sight. 4HV replied affirmative. Tower then amended the clearance for 4HV to cleared visual approach 27, which 4HV accepted. Don’t know that I’ve ever heard a rescinded go around.
