Hampton was described as a good ball striker, however his putting was adversely affected by poor vision in one eye.

[2] In May 1921, Hampton's eleven American teammates boarded the RMS Aquitania at New York and sailed to Southampton from where they traveled by train to Gleneagles at Perthshire, Scotland, where the forerunner to the Ryder Cup, the "International Challenge", would be played beginning on June 6, 1921.

In order to become a team member it was required that all players be either U.S. born or naturalized American citizens.
