Except that as previously stated, using the ring would instantly reveal him to Sauron's eye and the winged Nazgul so no he would have no chance.
Hence the ring had to be smuggled into Mordor and up Mount Doom. If you watch teh last film you will note that it was only when Gollum snatched the ring from Frodo and put it on that Sauron became instantly aware of the ring's presence and all the Nazgul wheeled around and headed to Mount Doom as quick as they could, but obviously not quick enough.
